Sao Paulo - Brazilian racer Rafael Camara will join Formula 1 team Haas in 2027, the team announced on Thursday, following the departure of French driver Esteban Ocon. The 21-year-old Camara, currently leading the Formula 2 championship, expressed excitement about this new challenge, stating it's an important step in his career.
He emphasized his focus on preparing for this opportunity and working closely with the Haas team. Camara, a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy since 2021, has demonstrated impressive achievements in junior formulas, including winning the Formula 3 title with Trident in 2025. Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu praised Camara as an amazing young talent.
Camara will partner with Britain's Oliver Bearman, also 21, at Haas. This marks the first time since 2016 that Brazil will have two drivers in F1, with Camara joining Gabriel Bortoleto, who will retain his seat at Audi.
