Haas Signs Formula 2 Leader Rafael Câmara for Next Season

Peoria Bloomington, IL, October 15, 2026 —

Haas has signed Formula 2 championship leader Rafael Câmara for next season, with Câmara set to replace Esteban Ocon at the American Formula 1 team.

The move brings Câmara, identified in the available information as the Formula 2 championship leader, into a Formula 1 seat with Haas. The reported change is due to take effect next season. No specific calendar year was provided, and no further details about the timing of the signing were included.

The information provided does not state the length or financial terms of Câmara’s agreement, or explain the circumstances behind Ocon’s departure from the seat. It also does not specify whether Haas has announced any other changes to its driver lineup for next season. No statements from the team, Câmara or Ocon were provided.

Beyond the signing and the change it signals for the seat, details about Câmara’s transition to Formula 1 remain unavailable in the source information. The report identifies his current standing in Formula 2 but does not provide statistics, prior team affiliations or other background. It therefore establishes the central personnel change without outlining the contract, announcement timeline or additional plans for Haas.
