5-0: Tenerife take Athletic out of the clouds with their little hands
After a narrow victory against Real Madrid in Valdebebas, Athletic suffered a major setback. Costa Adeje Tenerife defeated a red-white team who were penalized for conceding goals at the back and lack of efficiency up front. The locals were far more pragmatic and decisive and won a landslide victory, moving them closer to European status.
A “small hand” brings the Bilbao team, which has maintained a long unbeaten record, back to harsh reality. Soccer has something like this. A few days ago, Javi Lerga’s side were an unassailable opponent against the second-placed team, who had Olatz Santana between the posts after Nanclares’ early injury, and although they took advantage of the only chance in front of goal, they conceded too much against Eliodoro Rodríguez López, and this time the starting goalkeeper made a serious mistake when blocking the ball safely, allowing the local team to make it 2-0 and finally concede the goal.
Javi Lerga’s team made several changes compared to the eleven that had just defeated the merengue team last Tuesday, and essentially took control of the match from the kick-off. Coach Eli Martin’s team were happy to accept. The local manager, as in previous stages at Eibar, was strong at the back with a five-man defense and looked for surprises on the counter-attack. The bet paid off.
After Paola was given the first counter-attack option, Athletic began to participate in the attack, giving clear chances to Clara Pinedo, Agote and Valero. The response from the Tenerife team was overwhelming. Good combination on the flanks between Natalia Ramos and Uzrawi and a well-defined pass from Uzrawi allowed Paola to score from close range. The score was 1-0 in the 18th minute.
Although the lionesses insisted on aggressive proposals, the walls of Tenerife were gradually strengthened. In fact, the biggest chance before the break was for the local goal scorer himself. Chiciarello was aware of the dangerous situation in which centre-back Fatu picked up a yellow card followed by a red card, and opted to bring on Cinta after the break.
Seeing that Athletic’s dominance was not fruitful, Rerga started using the bench. Zubieta and Azcona were his first two assets. Eli Martin relied on Moreno and Coco Ange. Olatz Santana was unable to safely block the ball inside the area, but the game stayed that way until central Elba chased the play to the end and took advantage of the rebound to make it 2-0.

The Athletic did not give up and criticized this much. Tenerife were solid at the back and eventually scored, taking advantage of Bilbao’s increasingly desperate attempts to close the gap on the scoreboard. Alexandra, Coco Ange himself and the recently incorporated Irache scored the last three local goals in the final 12 minutes of the game.

After several significant personnel changes in the team, Max Verstappen has finally learned who he will be working with in the Red Bull pits for the new season.
At the end of last year, it became known that three key members of the four-time world champion’s headquarters had left. According to De Telegraaf, Jeff Ayton replaced Verstappen’s vehicle control engineer Michael Manning, who left the team after the 2025 season. He has previously worked with other Red Bull drivers and worked temporarily with Verstappen in Manning’s absence last year.
Verstappen’s former engine mechanic David Mart has moved to Audi and his replacement at Red Bull has not yet been determined. Performance engineer Tom Hart is also leaving the team; He will join Williams but will continue to work with the Milton Keynes-based team for a while.
Changes also occurred among mechanics. After Matt Culler moved to the position of Audi’s chief mechanic, Verstappen was replaced as his first mechanic by his twin brother John Culler. He is well known to Max, who has previously held a similar position on the other side of the Red Bull pits, working alongside Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda.
Despite rumors about the winter break, Gianpiero Lambiase will remain Verstappen’s race engineer for another season.

Photos of the allegedly leaked Ferrari F1 team jerseys for the 2026 season have appeared on the internet.
The published photos show a red T-shirt with white inserts.
Ferrari will officially announce its color on January 23. At the same time, some sources reported that the design of the 2026 car should be “pleasantly surprising”.
Given that Ferrari and other teams have used darker shades of their primary colors (red in the Scuderia’s case) in recent years, the introduction of red and white team uniforms could signal a move towards a lighter color scheme.
The same idea is put forward in a video published on the Scuderia’s official account.

Former Formula 1 champion Damon Hill has warned fans that the winner of the 2026 season could be a real surprise.
The current large-scale changes to the regulations are among the biggest in the history of the sport. They are expected to change the balance of power in the starting grid for a long time.
Hill is confident that the pundits have no idea who will start the new season with the best cars because the cars will be completely different, even in terms of handling.
Particular attention of the expert is drawn to Aston Martin, which was able to make a leap from the middle of the table after signing Adrian Newey from Red Bull.
Hill noted the following about Lando Norris’ chances of defending his title:
“All bets are off for this year. We don’t know who will be in uniform. You can’t automatically assume that pilots who performed well under previous regulations can now do it again.”
The cars are completely different. “50% of engine power is now provided by the electric battery, and this affects the way cars are controlled, their aerodynamics and their design.”
Hill added that the season could be a complete surprise:
“Yes, you can [ожидать смену эпохи в Ф1 в этом году]. We may see a complete surprise. It’s like Jenson Button beating Brown; Everyone was surprised because they understood the rules better.
“And the master of understanding the rules is Adrian Newey, who went to Aston Martin. He left Red Bull and Max Verstappen, Christian Horner also left that team. But he went to Aston Martin.”
“So we’re waiting for him to wave his magic wand over Aston Martin. And it could happen.”
