Ferrari protege ejerce presión sobre Ocon en Haas
"Camara también le gustaría pasar unos años aprendiendo"
Esteban Ocon’s Formula 1 future may be under increasing pressure from Ferrari junior Rafael Camara. While many paddock observers have linked Toyota-backed Jack Doohan with a possible Haas seat in 2027, Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport believes technical partner Ferrari has other plans. According to correspondent Tobias Gruner, Ferrari is already looking at ways to place its highly-rated Brazilian academy driver on the Formula 1 grid. "Many experts currently consider Rafael Camara to be the greatest talent in the junior racing series," Gruner wrote. The 21-year-old won last year’s Formula 3 title and has made an immediate impression since stepping up to Formula 2. "In Maranello, they apparently believe that the young driver from their own junior program is ready to make the leap to Formula 1," Gruner added. With Charles Leclerc recently signing a new contract and Lewis Hamilton suggesting he has no intention to retire, Ferrari’s own race seats are unavailable. That naturally points toward Haas, Ferrari’s long-standing technical partner, which is already accommodating the impressive Ferrari junior Oliver Bearman. "Camara también le gustaría pasar unos años aprendiendo los trucos en Haas," Gruner reportó. The obstacle is Ocon. The Frenchman was recruited to bring experience and leadership to Haas, but his position no longer looks secure. "El director del equipo, Ayao Komatsu, expresó algunas críticas leves hacia el francés durante el receso invernal," señaló Gruner. "No estaban satisfechos con su rendimiento el año pasado." The report says Ocon’s struggles have continued into 2026, although bad luck has also played a role. "Esta temporada, Ocon no ha hecho mucho para justificar su continuidad en el equipo," escribió Gruner. "Solo logró unos míseros 3 puntos en los primeros seis fines de semana de carrera." Finances could also become a factor. "Ocon es considerado el piloto mejor pagado que el equipo con sede en Carolina del Norte haya tenido," reportó Gruner. "Un novato como Camara definitivamente sería significativamente más barato."
