Prema Powerteam is delighted to announce the agreement reached with young Estonian Jüri Vips for the 2016 Formula 4 season. Lining-up for his first experience in single seaters, the 15 year-old racer from Tallinn will enter the full ADAC Formel 4 Championship as a part of a wider program which will also include the Italian series. After impressing in karting competition, Vips is ready to keep the Prema banner high as the Italian squad hopes to increase their Formula 4 record featuring the driver titles scored by Lance Stroll and Ralf Aron in the last two years. Vips has already started his preliminary testing program and is fully-focused on the start of the season.

René Rosin - Team Principal: "Once again we are delighted to welcome a young rookie driver coming from kart racing and aiming for Formula 4 success. Jüri is really committed to his preparation and that goes along well with the skills he showed throughout the first part of his career. We are sure he has all what it takes to impress."

Jüri Vips: "I am very excited to join Prema, without a question it is the best team out there and a very special group of people to work with. I am definitely aiming for at least the rookie championship next year."
