Rafael Câmara is set to make his Formula 1 debut at home at the São Paulo Grand Prix on 6–8 November. Haas confirmed that he will partner Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon will not drive for the team again this season.

A debut brought forward from next season

The Brazilian had originally signed for 2027. According to Formula 1, Mexico substitute Ryo Hirakawa has a World Endurance Championship commitment this weekend, opening the opportunity for Câmara.

The 21-year-old Formula 2 leader tested an older Haas in August. The team has not disclosed the details of its internal discussions with Ocon.
