Haas boss Ayao Komatsu has dismissed the suggestion that his squad have become a "Ferrari B-team" after they confirmed the signing of a second driver from the Italian outfit's academy.

Haas announced on Thursday that 21-year-old Brazilian Rafael Camara will drive for them in 2027 after signing a multi-year contract.

Camara is set to drive alongside fellow Ferrari Driver Academy (FDA) product Oliver Bearman, with confirmation that the Brit will remain with Haas for a third season expected soon.

Haas' pairing of the two drivers, who both remain attached to Ferrari and retain ambitions of driving for the Italian team in future, furthers a strong working relationship between the two squads that also sees Ferrari supply Haas with power units and other significant parts.
