Brazil to have two F1 drivers in 2027 as Camara joins Haas and Bortoleto stays at Audi

Brazil will have two Formula 1 drivers competing in the 2027 season, according to the team Haas. The Brazilian driver Rafael Camara has signed with the US-based team after the departure of French driver Esteban Ocon last month. Camara, who is 21 years old, expressed his excitement about the new challenge and his focus on preparing himself to the best of his ability.

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu praised Camara as an "amazing talent" and said he is looking forward to working with him closely. Camara will partner with Britain's Oliver Bearman, also 21, at Haas. This will be the first time Brazil has two drivers in F1 since 2016, with Camara joining Gabriel Bortoleto, who will keep his seat at Audi.

Haas currently sits seventh in the constructors' standings with 30 points after their last race in Singapore. The United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas is their next race on October 25.
