Rafa Camara ‘surprised’ but ready to ‘enjoy’ his F1 debut at the Brazilian GP

Rafa Camara will make his Formula 1 debut earlier than expected as a surprise replacement for Esteban Ocon at his home race, the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Camara was confirmed to be making the step up to F1 just a few weeks ago, the F2 driver leading the championship into the final rounds after taking the F3 title the year before in his rookie season. In the feeder series, he’d become one of the names in contention for Haas’ seat for 2027.
