What happened: Rafael Camara is unlikely to return to Formula 2 for the final rounds to defend his championship lead, according to Adam Cooper. Freddie Slater could take over the vacant Invicta Racing seat, offering the Audi junior an early jump on 2027 preparation.

Why it matters: Rafael Camara holds a seven-point lead atop Formula 2, meaning an early exit would surrender his title defense with rounds remaining. The move follows Haas elevating Camara into Esteban Ocon's Formula 1 seat for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix ahead of his full-time 2027 promotion.

What to watch: Invicta Racing has yet to finalize its driver lineup for the remaining Formula 2 rounds. Camara takes the track for Haas practice Friday at Interlagos.
