Brazilian Camara to join Haas for F1 debut in 2027

Brazilian Rafael Camara will join the US-based Haas team for his debut Formula 1 season in 2027.

Camara was chosen over three other drivers after evaluation tests by Haas

The 21-year-old, who is leading the Formula 2 championship, has been chosen after a selection process including a total of four drivers.

Camara was picked over the reigning F2 champion Leonardo Fornaroli and Haas reserve drivers Jack Doohan and Ryo Hirakawa after they were assessed in tests in previous years' F1 cars.

Camara, Fornaroli and Hirakawa were all assessed at a test at Portugal's Portimao track in August, Doohan separately.

"I'm really excited to sign such a young, amazing talent like Rafael Camara," Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu said.

"He showed when we had him drive in our programme in Portugal that he could handle himself very well with not a huge amount of time to learn the car. He showed us more than just raw speed.
