Red Bull Suspends F1 Junior Driver Juri Vips After Saying Racial Slur on Live Stream

Red Bull Racing announced Tuesday it has suspended one of its junior drivers, Formula 2 prodigy Jury Vips, for using a racial slur while participating in a live stream.

"Red Bull Racing has suspended junior driver Juri Vips from all team duties with immediate effect, pending a full investigation into the incident," reads a statement from the team published to Twitter. "As an organization we condemn abuse of any kind and have a zero-tolerance policy to racist language or behavior within our organization."

A video clip published by user ilottofhope to Twitter, originally streamed by fellow F2 driver Liam Lawson, appears to show Vips saying the n-word while the two are playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Lawson is also heard laughing following Vips's remark.

Vips has since issued an apology on Instagram saying he regrets his actions and will cooperate with the investigation.
