Rafael Camara Confirmed as Haas F1's Second Driver for 2027

Haas F1 has officially confirmed that Rafael Camara will replace Esteban Ocon as the team's second driver starting in the 2027 Formula One season. The 21-year-old Brazilian, currently leading the championship standings after winning consecutive titles in European Formula and Formula Three, signed a multiyear contract to join Oliver Bearman at the American manufacturer. Camara expressed gratitude toward Gene Haas, Ayao Komatsu, Ferrari's Driver Academy, and his family for their support during this career transition.

Ocon departed Haas following two disappointing seasons with no confirmed plans beyond late 2026. During recent media events in Singapore, Ocon indicated he is still negotiating but remains focused on the current race weekend.
