Red Bull sacks Vips as F1 test/reserve driver
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Red Bull Racing has parted company from test and reserve driver Jüri Vips.

It comes after the Estonian youngster made a racist and homophobic slur while live streaming a gaming session on Twitch last week.

Red Bull announced on Tuesday that it has completed an investigation and terminated Vips’ contract as its test and reserve driver.

“The team do not condone any form of racism,” it said in a brief statement.

Vips has been affiliated with Red Bull since 2019 and has held the role of back-up to Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

He tested the RB18 during practice at the Spanish Grand Prix in May.

He previously carried out duties for Red Bull at the end-of-year young driver tests in 2020 and 2021.

The status of Vips’ Formula 2 programme remains unclear.

    I have looked several news sites. None is reporting what he actually said, only that it was a racial slur. How are we meant to judge if the punishment is appropriate if we aren’t told what he actually said. Too many people have been forced to apologize for speaking the truth to believe on trust without being told. We are heading towards a place where people lose jobs, careers, freedoms, their liberty, maybe even their lives in some cases, and all we’ll be told is, “Oh yeah, it was definitely a case. He or she deserved it and you don’t need to know why”. That’s a state of totalitarianism, and it isn’t anywhere we want to go.

      The Nazi Party originated in 1919 and was led by Hitler from 1920. Through both successful electioneering and intimidation, the party came to power in Germany in 1933 and governed through “totalitarian methods”. It seems your comments are exactly mirroring the playbook of your beloved Führer. You waffle incoherently like an extremophile in a micro archaean level , a microorganism that lives in conditions of extreme temperatures, acidity , alkalinity and toxic chemical concentrations. Try freeing yourself from your acidic miasma.
      My last comment to you, regarding this matter. You Pediculous bescumbering dalcop.

        Since you know so much history did you know that Germany lost the war but the Nazi’s did not that continued to this day and their second and third generations are very much in control , Hitler wrote a book in 1928 that was unpublished called New World Order. The catch phrase of George Bush snr exactly a year before 911 that was needed as a new Pearl Harbour to implement those plans. Operation paper clip bought 1000’s of Nazi’s after the second world war to the US and they were white washed and installed in the three letter agency’s that is how the mess we are in now has developed. History is not what we are told at school its a fiction .
        They rule by getting us to fight with each other when we are not the problem we are the solution.
        Why do you attack Dami are you a World Economic forum young global leader of just a spiteful Troll.
