Formula 2 championship leader Rafael Camara will join Haas on a multi-year deal from the 2027 season as the Brazilian driver steps up to Formula 1.

Camara, 21, has established himself as a rising star over recent years in the junior categories. He won last year's Formula 3 championship and leads this year's Formula 2 standings with two rounds of the season to go.

He is a member of Ferrari's driver academy after joining in 2021, signing at the same time as fellow 21-year-old Oliver Bearman, who joined Haas in 2025 and remains on the Scuderia's books. Haas have not yet confirmed that Bearman will drive for them again in 2027 but team principal Ayao Komatsu says they expect to do so "very soon".

Camara replaces Esteban Ocon, whose departure from Haas at the end of this season after two years was confirmed in September.
