Red Bull Racing have parted ways with a team member who used racist language in personal text exchanges.
The exchanges came to light after the texts were posted on social media.
The individual was not a high-profile member of the trackside team.
A Red Bull spokesperson said: "As publicly acknowledged last week we condemn racist abuse of any kind and have a zero-tolerance policy to racist behaviour within our organisation.
"The person in question is no longer an employee of Red Bull Racing."
