Haas prepares a four-driver competition for the Ocon position.

      "Ferrari is firmly backing Rafael Camara."

      Haas is reportedly getting ready for a four-driver trial for Esteban Ocon’s seat in 2027, with growing pressure from Ferrari and Toyota regarding who should seize the opportunity. As reported by as-web.jp, Leonardo Fornaroli, Rafael Camara, Ryo Hirakawa, and Jack Doohan are all scheduled to participate in TPC running before Monza as Haas assesses its options for the upcoming season. The tests are anticipated to occur first at Portimao and then at Jerez, with Oliver Bearman also driving to serve as a benchmark. Fornaroli has already made a strong impression on team principal Ayao Komatsu during previous runs, but Ferrari is clearly showing its support for Camara. When asked at Zandvoort if Ferrari would back the Brazilian as McLaren has backed Fornaroli, Frederic Vasseur was resolute. "We are very supportive of Rafael," he stated. "And it’s not just a financial matter - he has participated in numerous TPC events this year, and the expenses involved far exceed the support we've provided him." "Our goal was to get him in optimal shape for the test next week. We are also exploring the best approach to integrate him into the team for next season." Meanwhile, Toyota is believed to be advocating for Hirakawa, while Haas reserve Doohan is also vying for his chance. The timing is crucial, as Ocon's future has become one of the more ambiguous spots on the 2027 grid. With Williams confirming Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz, and Fernando Alonso likely to stay at Aston Martin, Haas remains one of the few teams with a potentially open seat, allowing them to take their time with the decision.
