Vips joins DAMS for next three F2 rounds, replacing injured Gelael

With Sean Gelael sidelined following an injury in Barcelona, Jüri Vips will join the DAMS team for the three upcoming FIA Formula 2 Championship rounds at Spa, Monza and Mugello.

For Vips, his first time in an F2 car will be during Friday’s practice session in Belgium at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, with DAMS looking to use the weekend to ensure the 2019 Macau Grand Prix podium-finisher gains good experience to be best prepared for the next two events.

Jüri Vips: “I’m very thankful and happy for the opportunity that DAMS has given me. I know it’s going to be really difficult to just jump in with more than half the F2 season already completed, but I will do everything I can to give the team as strong as a result as they deserve. I’m also looking forward to working alongside Dan, who I’m sure will help me get up to speed, and we will aim to get good points for the team.”
