Haas sign rookie Rafael Camara for 2027 season

Rafael Camara will graduate to Formula 1 for 2027 and beyond, moving up from FIA Formula 2 to race for Haas.

The Brazilian, 21, has impressed in his rookie F2 season racing for Invicta Racing on the back of becoming F3 champion in 2025 and is currently atop the driver standings ahead of Red Bull junior, Nikola Tsolov by seven points in what has been a competitive season in the front running places.

He began his single seater career in 2022 and impressively, has never finished lower than fifth in any championship season he’s completed and hopes to emulate McLaren’s Oscar Piastri by winning the Formula Regional European Championship, Formula 3 and Formula 2 in successive seasons.

Like incumbent Haas driver Ollie Bearman, Camara is a Ferrari Junior Academy driver. Haas announced recently that Esteban Ocon will depart the team at the end of 2026.
