What happened: Haas says a standout test outing secured Rafael Camara a race seat for 2027. Team principal Ayao Komatsu described the run as sensational in a new interview.

Why it matters: The seat fills the vacancy created by Esteban Ocon's exit after 2026. Camara arrives as the F2 leader with Ferrari academy pedigree on a multi-year deal. It locks in a key piece of Haas' 2027 lineup.

What to watch: Attention now turns to Camara's continued preparation program ahead of the 2027 move.
