Vinicius breaks his silence on renewing his contract with Real Madrid: “There is a lot of talk about this”
Vinicius He spoke on TNT Brazil about the whistle at the Bernabéu, the sacking of Xabi Alonso and his reappointment.
Whistle at the Bernabéu
“It makes me very sad. I don’t want them to boo me at home, where I feel very comfortable. I didn’t feel that way in the last few games, I felt comfortable. Whenever I played poorly, whenever I did something wrong, they booed me. They have their rights. They pay a very high ticket for that. I don’t understand it… But I’m here to keep fighting for this club.”
Farewell to Xabi Alonso
“There’s nothing to do, nothing can be done. All I can do is give everything. I don’t always give my best skill level, but I have always given everything for the team. I try to assist when other players are missing the goal, I try to defend when I have to defend…of course I’m not the best defender in the team… There are other players for that. I think and understand that the press will say what it wants and the fans will have to criticize me. But I think the best way to improve is to go home and be the same.” As I’ve always said, it demands a lot and you have to always be at your best. This past year has been difficult for me because I haven’t been able to play as much as I would like, but it’s always important to move forward.
Renewal
“There is a lot of talk about renewing my contract, but I have one more year. We are very calm. I trust the president and he trusts me. We have a very good relationship and we will resolve the issue in due course. We are not in a hurry.”

F1 rookie: “I always believed in it blindly. That’s what happened in the end.”
New Racing Bulls driver Arvid Lindblad talks about the Lando Norris case that went viral five years ago.
In 2021, a video emerged of Lindblad approaching Norris at the Adria Karting Raceway in Italy, shaking his hand and saying:
“Lando, I want you to remember me; see you in five years.”
The then 14-year-old British driver had not yet raced an open-wheeler, but today he is preparing for his first season in Formula 1.
With the support of Red Bull, Lindblad has progressed rapidly in all junior categories and has now reached the pinnacle of motorsport.
The video of Lindblad and Norris became popular again due to its promotion from Formula 2 to F1.
Lindblad described the moment he met Norris as follows:
“Lando actually came to the track himself. He arrived at Adria – that was the name of the track – where the race was held.
He was in Italy and launching himself. [картинговое] chassis, that’s why I came to the track. And yes, I told him I’d see you in five years.
Yeah, it’s a funny little story and now it’s become relevant again.”
The fact that Lindblad is one of the youngest drivers to qualify for Formula 1, at just 18 years old, underlines Red Bull’s confidence in the Briton.
He came first in every category he competed in and broke the record for the youngest F2 race winner.
Lindblad said of the confidence that allowed Norris to make this comment five years ago:
“I don’t know… Maybe it was blind hope or something, but from the moment I started this path at the age of five, I always believed that I could enter Formula 1.
I wanted to enter Formula 1 and I believed I could do it. And yes, I believed that when I was five. I believed it the day I saw Lando when I was 14, and I always believe it to this day.
Frankly, I’m very happy and delighted that this happened and turned into a funny story. But I’m looking forward to starting a new journey.”

F1 team responded to leaked videos of the new car in two words
Team Alpine raced at the Silverstone circuit in England today as part of a sanctioned shooting day where drivers could cover up to 200km.
The French decided not to hide the appearance and carried out a test drive, possibly in the final design of the 2026 season. Photos and videos of the tests went viral on the internet.
The team left a witty comment on one of the posts: “fake news.”
The official presentation of the team is planned for January 23. It was reported that it will be closed and the first press tests of the new car will be held on a ship near Barcelona.

VIDEO. Alpin F1 team carried out special tests. A new look has emerged
Formula 1 team Alpin covered the first kilometers of the race with its new vehicle A526 for the 2026 season. The first races were held at the Silverstone circuit as part of the filming day.
The French stable took advantage of the opportunity to travel up to 200 kilometers, corresponding to approximately two-thirds of the race distance. The main purpose of the trip was primarily to collect technical data on the operation of the power plant, since 2026 will be Alpin’s first season as a Mercedes customer.
The races were held in rainy weather. In the published video, Argentinian Franco Colapinto was driving the car.
Interestingly, unlike Cadillac and Audi, the Alpine team immediately hit the track with a new livery that it plans to use in the 2026 season, although the official presentation of the design is only scheduled for January 23.
Judging by images from the track, Alpine has retained its recognizable blue and pink color scheme with only minor evolutionary changes.
