Ferrari Hand Latest Test Boosts 2027 F1 Seat Chances
Highlights
- Rafael Câmara tests Ferrari SF-25 at Barcelona on Thursday
- Câmara’s second F1 test after initial run at Hungaroring
- He ranks third in 2026 Formula 2 with three podiums
- Possible F1 move in 2027, rumored Haas seat
- Pirelli tyre test runs Tuesday with Ferrari and others
- Ferrari evaluates driver lineups amid ongoing 2026 season
Ferrari hands Rafael Câmara a second Formula 1 outing on Thursday at Barcelona, with the 21-year-old Brazilian driving the SF-25 as part of the team’s structured evaluation program.
It follows his May debut at the Hungaroring. Câmara, a Ferrari Driver Academy member since late 2021, has shown consistent pace and discipline across junior categories this season.
Câmara returns to the SF-25 at Barcelona for his second Ferrari F1 test of the year.
He sits third in the 2026 Formula 2 standings, 17 points off the lead. A Barcelona feature race win and three podiums in ten starts with Invicta Racing underline his progress.
Ferrari runs the test under Testing of Previous Cars regulations. TPC mileage helps validate simulator models, refine procedures, and benchmark rising drivers without consuming limited in-season running.
Speculation links Câmara to a 2027 Formula 1 debut, potentially via Haas, Ferrari’s customer. That pathway would align with expected 2027 F1 rule changes shaping car concepts and driver-market timing.
Haas remains the most credible route to a 2027 F1 seat, given its customer relationship with Ferrari.
Barcelona is busy this week. Pirelli conducts tyre testing on Tuesday with Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Cadillac, while Charles Leclerc, Zhou Guanyu, and American prospect Jak Crawford add valuable reference laps.
For Ferrari, that programme supports setup understanding and team strategies for the campaign. Across the grid, Lewis Hamilton’s recent Ferrari win contrasts with Mercedes’ ongoing reliability concerns.
Câmara’s run complements broader planning as teams weigh pre-season changes for 2027. The Barcelona mileage should clarify Ferrari’s medium-term options and the Brazilian’s readiness for a potential graduation.
Pirelli’s tyre test features Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Cadillac, with Leclerc, Zhou, and Crawford providing key comparison data.
