Haas 2027: Camara linked to race seat

News - 2026-10-26 - By Jenny Marsh

BBC Sport and Autosport reported Rafael Camara is in line for a Haas 2027 seat, with Esteban Ocon expected to leave and Oliver Bearman part of the plan.

Driver market

BBC Sport reported that Rafael Camara is set to join Haas for his Formula 1 debut in 2027. Autosport also reported the Brazilian is expected to replace Esteban Ocon after the 2026 season, but the move has not been confirmed in the supplied information.

The reported line-up

Autosport reported that Camara, 21, won the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship and is expected to line up alongside Oliver Bearman. Bearman sits 13th in the 2026 drivers' championship on 23 points, while Ocon is 16th on seven.

Haas context

The reported change would point Haas toward a younger 2027 pairing. The American team has raced in Formula 1 since 2016 and, across 11 seasons to 2026, has yet to record a race win or a constructors' title.
