Haas 2027 decision a two-horse race between Jack Doohan and Rafa Camara

Haas is nearing a decision on its 2027 Formula 1 driver line-up, with Jack Doohan and Rafa Camara emerging as the primary contenders following Esteban Ocon's departure. Ayao Komatsu, the team principal, has stated that all options remain open, although sources suggest that Camara was initially the favourite for the seat. Doohan's recent performances have reignited interest in his candidacy, making the competition a two-horse race.

The team conducted tests with various candidates, which helped narrow the field. Komatsu emphasised that the decision will be based on performance rather than commercial considerations, despite the potential benefits of signing a Ferrari-backed driver like Camara. A final announcement regarding the driver line-up is anticipated after the Singapore Grand Prix, potentially before the upcoming United States Grand Prix.
