via RacingNews365 Ferrari voice key F1 concern over end-of-season doubt Ferrari's team principal, Fred Vasseur, has raised concerns about the uncertainty regarding the final two races of the Formula 1 season due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi are in question, and F1's CEO, Stefano Domenicali, has indicated that a decision will not be made until at least mid-September, with potential delays into October. If these races are canceled, the season would end in Europe, likely at Imola, rather than Las Vegas.
Vasseur highlighted the need for teams to have clarity on the race schedule to manage their budgets effectively under the cost cap. He noted that logistical preparations must be finalized by September to ensure readiness for the Middle East events. Ferrari's next challenge is the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, scheduled for September 6.

Ferrari, with two wins this season, is significantly behind Mercedes in the constructors' championship, which has eight victories. Hamilton expressed that Ferrari must capitalize on their strengths to close the gap to Mercedes in the upcoming races.
Despite a challenging recent performance, Hamilton remains optimistic about Ferrari's potential.

RacingNews365 Mon 31 Aug · 04:30 UTC via PlanetF1 Ferrari’s Rafael Camara appears in Haas test as F1 2027 rumours swirl Rafael Camara, a Ferrari junior driver and reigning Formula 3 champion, took part in a private test with Haas at Portimão, amid speculation regarding the F1 2027 driver lineup. During the test, he was joined by Haas reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa and fellow contender Leonardo Fornaroli, as they drove the Haas VF-25 from the 2025 season over three days. Camara has recently improved his standing in the Formula 2 championship, winning a race at Spa and finishing on the podium in Hungary, narrowing the gap to the leader Nikola Tsolov to 22 points.
Ferrari's team principal, Fred Vasseur, emphasized the extensive support provided to Camara, which goes beyond financial backing. With Oliver Bearman likely to remain at Haas for the 2027 season, the future of Esteban Ocon is still in question. Fornaroli, who has also been highlighted as a promising driver, is in the mix for a potential seat, indicating a competitive environment as teams prepare for the upcoming season.
