Jüri Vips played Call of Duty with his friends and broadcast it to Twitch. During the transmission, a racist insult “beginning with n” came out of his mouth, which derogatory refers to dark-skinned people.
Vips was shouted at by other players, including his Red Bull junior colleague Liam Lawson. But the problem was in the world.
Red Bull issued a statement suspecting Vips. “Red Bull Racing has suspended junior driver Yuri Vips with immediate effect until all incidents have been investigated,” said Red Bull, adding that “as an organization we have a zero-tolerance policy on racist behavior or behavior.”
Vips and Red Bull took part in the first practice for the Spanish Grand Prix. In 2020 and 2021 he also ran for them in tests. In addition, Vips races in F2 for the Hitech team. He is currently seventh.
Vips had already responded to the situation and apologized. “Such a statement is completely unacceptable and does not reflect the values and principles I uphold. I deeply regret my actions and this is not an example I would like to give. I will fully cooperate in the investigation, “said the Estonian pilot.
