Rafael Câmara has chosen number 50 for his Haas Formula 1 debut in 2027. He is due to make that debut at the Bahrain Grand Prix in March.

Câmara said number 5 was his first choice, but Gabriel Bortoleto uses it. He connected number 50 to his birthday, 5 May 2005, and to a conversation with his father; Câmara said his father told him he was 50.

Oliver Bearman had raced with #50 in two substitute appearances for Haas in 2024. For his full-time debut in 2025, he used #87.
