What happened: Oliver Bearman and 21-year-old Brazilian driver Rafael Camara will race alongside each other at Haas starting in 2027, placing two Ferrari Driver Academy members in identical machinery. Bearman joined the team in 2025 to prepare for a future promotion, while Camara arrives on a multi-year deal after leading the 2026 Formula 2 standings.

Why it matters: Formula 1 junior programmes frequently struggle to align driver development timelines with open seats at the parent team. Fielding both prospects in the same car gives Ferrari a direct benchmark to determine which academy driver earns the next Scuderia vacancy.

What to watch: Bearman continues his 2026 campaign at this weekend's United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas before Camara officially takes over the second Haas seat following the conclusion of the current season.
