Ferrari junior driver Rafael Camara, who has been part of the Ferrari academy since the 2022 season, has been promoted to Haas Formula 1 for the 2027 Formula 1 season.
"I am very happy to join the TGR Haas F1 Team as a Formula 1 driver. This is an important step in my career and I would like to thank Gene Haas (team owner) and Ayao Komatsu (Haas Team Principal) for the trust they have placed in me," Camara said, as quoted from the Formula 1 website, Friday.
Camara, now 21, is a promising Ferrari driver who won the 2024 European Formula Regional Championship.
A year later, he earned a promotion seat in Formula 3. Camara then continued his adventure in Formula 3 and won the title with the highest winning percentage record, equaling the record previously set by Arvid Lindblad.
Then in this season, Camara started his debut in Formula 2 and was the current leader of the standings.
"Now my focus is on preparing myself in the best possible way for this new challenge. There's a lot to learn, and I look forward to working with the team, understanding the car, and continuing to develop as a driver," Camara said of his preparations.
