The call has been answered. Welcome, Rafael Câmara ☎️🇧🇷 #HaasF1 #F1 https://t.co/g0ilNvGHMj Via @HaasF1Team on X

What happened: The Brazilian joins on a multi-year contract beginning in 2027. The agreement fills the seat opening after Esteban Ocon's 2026 exit.

Why it matters: Locking the second seat early gives Haas stability into the 2027 regulation reset. Câmara extends the Brazilian presence on the grid and gives the Ferrari academy a direct graduation path.

By the numbers: 2024 FRECA champion; 2025 Formula 3 champion; Formula 2 leader ahead of 2027 move.

What to watch: His first Haas test outings and confirmation of the full 2027 driver pairing remain to be set.
