Vips joined Red Bull in 2018 and has been racing for Hitech Grand Prix in Formula 2 this season.
He drove for their F1 team during FP1 at the Spanish Grand Prix last month.
“I wish to unreservedly apologise for the offensive language used during a live gaming stream earlier today,” Vips said.
“This language is entirely unacceptable and does not portray the values and principles that I hold.
“I deeply regret my actions and this is not the example I wish to set. I will cooperate with the investigation fully.”
