RacingNews365 reports that Câmara will replace Esteban Ocon at Haas after the current season; Jack Doohan was the other finalist.
Rafael Câmara is set to replace Esteban Ocon at Haas after the current season, RacingNews365 reports, citing reliable sources in the paddock. The outlet says Haas and Ferrari reached an agreement during the Singapore Grand Prix weekend.
The final choice came down to Câmara and Jack Doohan, Haas’s third driver. The team tested a wider group in older F1 cars; Toyota driver Ryo Hirakawa and McLaren junior Leonardo Fornaroli were among those evaluated. Câmara and Doohan also took part in the programme.
RacingNews365 reports that Câmara made a strong impression in testing and that Doohan also performed particularly well. Some of the outlet’s sources said Doohan’s strong performance left Haas with a difficult choice.
RacingNews365 says Câmara has Ferrari’s backing and substantial sponsorship from Brazil. Its sources expect an official announcement next week.
