Jüri Vips: My Greatest Influences

We sat down with Jüri Vips to discuss his greatest influences. The Hitech Grand Prix racer looked back over the people who have inspired and impacted him throughout his fledging motorsport career.
MY DAD
“The first one would be my dad, we started everything together when I was around 11 in Estonia and we have come a long way. He passed away a few years ago, but he is the first person who comes to mind. He helped me get to where I am.”
MARKO ASMER
“He is not my hero, he’s my manager, but he has helped me a lot in my career. We didn't really have many connections in karting, but Marko helped me to get into F4 and move on from there. He’s been a big help in my career.”

RED BULL
"Red Bull have had a big influence on me and my career. I’ve said before, if it wasn't for them in 2018, and onwards, then I wouldn’t be racing today. At least not at this level anyway. Both Red Bull and all of my sponsors have helped me massively.”
