Rafael Camara has been confirmed for a Haas Formula 1 seat in 2027. BBC Sport reported the Brazilian will make his F1 debut with the US-based team, while RaceFans also described the announcement as official. Formula1.com published follow-up coverage on Haas’s choice and Camara’s reaction after he secured the drive.

Formula1.com reported that team principal Ayao Komatsu outlined why Haas selected Camara, and Motorsport.com said Komatsu pointed to the driver’s speed and adaptability in tests with older machinery rather than his Ferrari links. Formula1.com also cast Camara as the next Ferrari-backed prospect to reach Haas.

Autosport and Motorsport.com reported that Camara is set to replace Esteban Ocon and is expected to line up alongside Oliver Bearman in 2027. Haas has raced in Formula 1 since 2016 and is still seeking its first win and first constructors’ title. Ocon sat 16th in the 2026 drivers’ championship on seven points, while Bearman was 13th on 23.
