Major F1 Controversy Blows Up as Red Bull Suspend Junior & F2 Driver ‘With Immediate Effect’

Red Bull suspended its Junior driver Juri Vips! The team is one of the biggest names in the world of motorsports. They’re renowned for their brilliance and have even managed to secure 4 constructors’ titles and 5 drivers’ titles. Understandably, they will not tolerate any debatable behavior from any driver under their umbrella.

Red Bull’s training program comprises many young drivers. The academy trains and monitors young boys and girls to become future world champions. They compete in the junior Formula series and have only one goal: to win it all. The likes of Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz, and Sebastian Vettel have entered F1 through this program.

The Austrian Constructor has suspended their junior and test driver, Juri Vips. Notably, Vips, on a live stream, was caught using “racing slurs”, prompting the team to take immediate action. Red Bull, in a statement, wrote, “Red Bull Racing has suspended junior driver Jüri Vips from all team duties with immediate effect pending a full investigation into the incident.”

“As an organization we condemn any form of abuse and have a zero tolerance policy towards it racist language or behavior within our organization.” (translation credits: google)
