It's still unconfirmed who will race alongside Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly next year. Rumours are going around, but nothing has been confirmed. 

Super license

Last weekend Juri Vips was a reserve driver for Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri in Turkey. Moreover, he now has his super license in his pocket. However, he says he is not a candidate to enter Formula 1 in 2021. "I know that getting the super license means nothing for next year, because I won't be in Formula 1 next season," he told the Estonian broadcaster ERR. You can read it on Grandpx.news.

However, obtaining his super licence now already has its advantages. "With the super license the pressure will be much less next year," said the 20-year old driver. "I will be in Formula 2 next year. In recent years I had to be in certain places in the racing classes to get points for the super licence, but now I finally have it". Vips is expected to drive for Hitech on behalf of Red Bull next year with Liam Lawson as team mate.
