Jüri Vips no longer appears in the plans of Red Bull, at least in those of the stable of Formula 1. A week after his suspension following his controversial outing during a live broadcast on Twitch where he pronounced the word “nigger” twice, the Estonian was definitively fired by the Austrian firm.

« Following its investigation into an online incident involving Jüri Vips, Red Bull has terminated Jüri's contract as a test and reserve driver, specifies Red Bull in his press release. The team does not tolerate any form of racism »

However, Red Bull has not given any information regarding his future within the Red Bull Junior Team even if we imagine that this termination of contract also concerns his place within the academy. Despite this dismissal, Jüri Vips should be at Silverstone this weekend with Hitech GP, the team with which he is competing in the F2.
