Haas finalise new F1 driver-line up with Esteban Ocon replacement chosen

Haas has finalized an agreement with Ferrari to sign Rafael Camara as Esteban Ocon's replacement for the 2027 season, according to paddock sources. Ocon is set to leave Haas at the end of the 2026 campaign after two years with the team. Camara, a Ferrari Driver Academy member competing for the Formula 2 title, will partner Oliver Bearman, with an official announcement expected in the coming days.

Camara was chosen over other contenders, including Haas third driver Jack Doohan, following a series of testing sessions. The move creates an all-Ferrari junior lineup for the American team, prompting discussions within the paddock regarding Haas potentially operating as a Ferrari 'B-team.' Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu dismissed these external concerns, stating he is unbothered by outside perceptions.
