Red Bull has clarified that Juri Vips has lost his test and reserve driver roles with its Formula One team but remains part of the driver programme despite using a racial slur on a livestream last month.

IndyCar champ Alex Palou debunks Ganassi return announcement, says he's leaving to join McLaren in 2023​


Alex Palou's top priority remains winning a second straight IndyCar championship. But his future after this year is looking awfully murky. Shortly after Chip Ganassi Racing announced Tuesday it would exercise a team option to keep the star Spaniard next season, Palou and Arrow McLaren SP said they had agreed to a deal for 2023. Palou emerged as a star last season by becoming the first Spaniard to win an IndyCar title while giving Ganassi a 14th series crown. Palou hasn't disappointed this year either, posting four top-five finishes and seven top-10s in the first nine races. Although he hasn't won a race, Palou is fourth in the standings, 35 points behind Indianapolis 500 champ and teammate Marcus Ericsson heading into Sunday's race at Toronto.
