Red Bull F1, cancels contract with Juri Vips … racist remarks | Formula1-Data / F1 information / news bulletin commentary

Red Bull Racing signed a contract with F1 official tester and reserve driver Juri Vips on Tuesday, June 28, ahead of the F1 Round 10 British Grand Prix, saying “I will not tolerate any kind of racism” Announced that it was discontinued.

A 21-year-old Estonian driver spoke a black disdainful slur in a Call of Duty stream on Twitch last Tuesday night.

In response, Red Bull suspended Pips immediately, but after a week-long investigation, it revealed that it had completely terminated the four-year contract.

It’s unclear who will replace Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in the event of an unforeseen event.

Sebastien Buemi is on the same reserve, but given the balance with the FIA ​​World Endurance Championship (WEC) from Toyota and the fact that 11 years have passed since F1 left, Daniil Kvyat A surprise to return is also conceivable.

Strangely, this day was also the day when the F1 world criticized three-time F1 champion Nelson Piquet for his racist remarks against Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes).

Redbull wants to make an immediate statement of condemnation of his racist remarks against Hamilton, but the spokesman is also sick of the fact that Pique is Kelly’s father while dating Felstappen.

Some kind of consideration can be felt when he added that he would not tolerate any kind of racial discrimination when he dismissed Vips.

This year, Vip’s is competing in the FIA-F2 Championship from the Hi-Tech GP in parallel with F1 operations. The race will be held at Silverstone this weekend, but Hi-Tech has not disclosed any future contracts with Vips at this time.
