Camara concedes ‘there is a lot to learn’ ahead of F1 debut

Rafael Camara is preparing to make his Formula 1 debut with Haas at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, stepping in for Esteban Ocon as regular reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa contests the WEC finale. Although his full-time debut is set for the future, the Ferrari junior and F2 standings leader has been given an early opportunity following impressive test performances. Team Principal Ayao Komatsu praised the rookie's speed and poise under pressure, while teammate Oliver Bearman—who faced a similar late substitution in 2024—aims to bounce back from recent retirements and help secure crucial points for the team.
