Haas locked Rafael Camara for 2027, pairing the Brazilian with Ollie Bearman in a lineup built on raw speed and rough edges. Camara's F2 qualifying average this season — 2.54 — sits a full position ahead of his closest rival, the best rookie mark since Oscar Piastri in 2021. Five poles, one-lap pace his Invicta boss calls the most naturally talented he's ever seen. The problem isn't finding time; it's keeping it. Montreal, Monaco, and Madrid all featured unforced errors — a reckless divebomb here, a cold-tire lockup there, moves that turned wins into DNFs or penalties. Compare that to 2025 F2 champion Leonardo Fornaroli, who clinched the title with a round to spare by making zero major mistakes. Camara has the ceiling; he lacks the discipline. The American outfit is betting the polish comes before the midfield learns to exploit the gaps, wagering that elite one-lap speed buys enough time for racecraft to catch up.
