哈斯车队签下卡马拉,2027赛季的决定正确吗?
卡马拉被宣布为2027赛季的一级方程式车手,将取代奥康成为哈斯车队的车手。这位21岁的巴西人在青训车队中迅速崛起,赢得了2024年欧洲区域方程式锦标赛和2025年三级方程式冠军,目前还在Formula 2积分榜上领先。

我们的作家们讨论了哈斯车队是否通过用F2积分领跑者卡马拉替换奥康参加2027赛季一级方程式是正确的做法
拉斐尔·卡马拉已被宣布为2027赛季的一级方程式车手,他将取代埃斯特班·奥康在哈斯车队的位置
这将见证这位21岁的巴西人在通过青训车队快速晋升后首次参加一级方程式
卡马拉赢得了2024年欧洲区域方程式锦标赛和2025年方程式3冠军,目前以七分的优势领先方程式2的积分榜。
但与奥康相比,他仍然是一个初出茅庐的天才,奥康自2025年初加入哈斯车队以来一直面临艰难的挑战。
那么哈斯车队是否做出了正确的决定?我们的作家们有自己的看法。
俗话说,你可以让一个快车手变得可靠,但你不能让一个可靠的司机变得快。
卡马拉是过去十年青训车队中最快的车手之一;他的资格赛记录足以证明这一点。他在通往2024年欧洲区域锦标赛冠军的道路上获得了七个杆位,这是任何人都无法比拟的;他在2025年的F3赛事中,九场比赛中获得了五个杆位,这在当前时代是前所未有的。要找到类似的表现,你必须追溯到2015年GP3赛季卢卡·吉奥托的相同成就。然而,在那个级别的最激烈的冠军争夺战中,吉奥托在冠军赛中仅以微弱劣势输给了奥康。
快进11年,奥康正在失去他的哈斯车队席位,让位给卡马拉。这位法国人的本赛季成绩能代表他的实际表现吗?可能不能,因为VF-26的臭名昭著的不稳定性问题一直困扰着他。但这可能对车队内部的氛围产生了影响,随着挫败感的增长,在这种情况下进行改变是合理的——尤其是有像卡马拉这样的人可用。
这位巴西人拥有一切:哈斯车队供应商法拉利的支持——就像预期的未来哈斯车队队友奥利弗·贝尔曼一样——明显的速度和潜力,连续在FREC、F3和F2中赢得双冠。Invicta车手目前在F1的预备系列赛中领跑,13场比赛中获得了五个杆位,没有人能超过两个。
当然,他也犯过错误,比如在摩纳哥为胜利与冠军对手尼古拉·茨洛夫争夺时锁死进站,但卡马拉仍然取得了稳定的积分完赛和指挥性的特征赛胜利。
哈斯车队将错过奥康的经验,但贝尔曼可以成长为车队领袖,这个决定为未来做准备是合理的。
为什么要为一个新人移除一个大奖赛冠军?
奥康在赢得2021年匈牙利大奖赛后
奥康对此直言不讳:他说,他不应该得到这种东西,确切地说。同样直言不讳地说,我看不出不同意他的理由。
是的,数字通常不会说谎。尽管奥康是经验更丰富的车手,有权利被视为车队领袖,但他到目前为止的积分却比贝尔曼少。
但这真的是他表现不佳的情况吗?
小山雅哉已经承认,赛车的不稳定性存在问题,如果你相信奥康,他只有少数几场比赛能够真正发挥出水平。而且最近的几轮比赛确实表明,即使他不如贝尔曼,至少也和他处于同一水平。
在它的历史上,哈斯车队从拥有丰富经验的车手中受益良多。像罗曼·格罗斯让和凯文·马格努森这样的人帮助它发展成为一支可信的车队——而且过去也曾经因为新手而惨败。选择米克·舒马赫和尼基塔·马泽平作为当年的车手,是出于生存的需要,因为两人都带来了财务支持。但哈斯车队现在真的需要选择一名新手车手吗?没有理由相信这一点。
所以看起来巴西人被哈斯车队在体育方面选中了,但我看不出他现在能比一个有经验的获胜车手表现得更好。除非法拉利施加了太大的压力,需要从其青训营中再选一个年轻车手,否则我看不到卡马拉能比奥康在短时间内为车队赢得更多积分,毕竟奥康有着丰富的经验。
奥康在赛车表现正常时仍然速度快且可靠。那么为什么要做出改变呢?尤其是如果是为了另一个可以被法拉利随时带走的车手。
你如何围绕从大型车队借来的车手来构建你的未来?我认为奥康和贝尔曼的组合在这方面非常合理,因为法国人是车队自己的车手。现在哈斯车队给人的感觉更像是法拉利的青训车队,而不是一个独立的团队。
当然,如果熊山在这些TPC测试中看到了卡马拉的绝对特殊表现——考虑到贝尔曼的表现,你会认为阿亚奥知道自己在做什么。
但是,仍然有一种感觉,奥康被车队不公平对待——车队几乎用表现不佳的赛车作为借口来摆脱他。
这是哈斯车队签约一位潜在一代天才的机会。
在最近的几轮比赛中,除了同情,很难对奥康有其他的感觉,看着他明确地、绝望地请求留在赛车场上。如果不是因为困境,他会说出这样的话吗?不会的。这显然是他提醒人们他过去所做的一切的策略,因为他知道陪审团的态度非常不确定。
但不管你是否喜欢,他说的很多都是真的。奥康通过赢得GP3赛事,在欧洲F3中击败了维斯塔潘,圆满结束了他的青训车队生涯,并在F1中保持了十年的高水平表现。
他的2017年首个完整赛季给人留下了深刻印象,除了两轮外,在力印度车队中每轮都得分,而且他在梅赛德斯车队统治时期几乎完成了改变职业生涯的重大转会,这一点也不应该被忘记。还有他在2021年匈牙利站的胜利,以及他是唯一两位在赛季中作为队友击败费尔南多·阿隆索的车手之一——2022年92比81。
希望上述事实是人们记住奥康的原因,而不是他在哈斯车队的两个赛季。同样,丹尼尔·里卡多应该主要被记住的是除了他后期下滑之外的所有事情。
然而,还有一个事实或观点不容忽视:奥康是时候离开了。尽管最近的结果有所改善,但其中有多少是30岁的他知道他需要证明自己并且工作在危险之中?哈斯车队在法国人驾驶下不会变得更好,但如果有这样一位充满活力的年轻人卡马拉,情况可能会有所不同。
奥列格谈论年龄和经验,但2026年冠军在望的基米·安东内利是以一个青少年的身份开始赛季的。那么,在当今这个时代,这真的那么重要吗?卡马拉和巴伦曼同龄,他的青训车队记录也足以证明一切。
如果他成为F2冠军,他将加入查尔斯·勒克莱尔、乔治·拉塞尔、奥斯卡·皮亚斯蒂和同胞加布里埃尔·博托莱托的行列,作为新秀赢得F2和F3的冠军。卡马拉也将成为唯一一位连续赛季赢得这两个冠军和FREC的车手。
这些都是未来领跑者的统计数据,当考虑到本概述的21岁年轻人的速度时,他已经达到了F1水平。没有理由相信他不会在10年后为胜利和冠军而战。哈斯队签下这样一位车手的机遇可能不会再次出现,所以这是它必须抓住的机会,并且值得赞扬它这样做。

Did Haas make the correct decision in signing Rafael Camara for F1 2027?
Our writers debate whether Haas did the correct thing by replacing Ocon with F2 points leader Camara for F1 2027
Rafael Camara has been announced as a Formula 1 driver for the 2027 season and he will serve as Esteban Ocon’s replacement at Haas.
It will see the 21-year-old Brazilian make his F1 debut after such a rapid rise through the junior formulae.
Camara won the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship and the 2025 Formula 3 title, following that up by currently leading the Formula 2 standings by seven points.
But he is still such a raw talent as opposed to the experience and race-winning know-how of Ocon, who has endured a tough time since joining Haas at the start of 2025.
So has the American outfit made the right move? Our writers have their say.
As the saying goes, you can make a quick driver reliable, but you can’t make a reliable driver quick.
Camara is one of the fastest drivers from the past decade in junior formulae; his qualifying record speaks for him. He took seven poles, more than anyone, on his way to the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship title; his 2025 F3 record was five poles out of nine, which is unprecedented in the current era. You’d have to go back to Luca Ghiotto’s identical feat, in the 2015 GP3 season, to find similar performance. And yet, in perhaps the most competitive title fight ever at that level, Ghiotto had narrowly lost out to Ocon in the title race.
Fast-forward 11 years, and Ocon is losing his Haas seat to Camara. Are the Frenchman’s results this season representative of his actual performance? Probably not, with the VF-26’s infamous inconsistency issue plaguing him for a long time. But it perhaps took a toll on the atmosphere within the team as frustration grew, and in that case, making a change made sense – especially with someone like Camara available.
The Brazilian has it all: backing from Haas supplier Ferrari – just like expected future Haas team-mate Oliver Bearman – obvious pace and potential back-to-back titles in FREC, F3 and F2. The Invicta racer currently leads the standings in F1’s feeder series, with five pole positions out of 13. Nobody else has taken more than two.
Of course, there have been mistakes, like his lock-up into retirement as he fought title rival Nikola Tsolov for victory in Monaco, but Camara has still taken consistent points finishes and commanding feature race wins.
Haas will miss Ocon’s experience, but Bearman can grow into the team leader role, and the decision makes sense to prepare for the future.
Why remove a grand prix winner for a rookie?
Ocon after winning the 2021 Hungarian GP
Ocon was quite frank about it: he doesn't deserve this shit, he said, to be precise. And to be just as frank, I see no reason to disagree with him.
Yes, the numbers usually don't lie. And Ocon, despite being the more experienced driver, with every right to be considered a team leader, has scored fewer points so far than Bearman.
But is that really a case of him underdelivering?
Ayao Komatsu has admitted there have been issues with the car's inconsistency, and if you believe Ocon, he's only had a handful of races in which he's been able to have a proper go at it. And the last few rounds certainly suggest that, even if he's not better than Bearman, he's at least on a par with him.
Throughout its history, Haas has benefited greatly from having drivers with a wealth of experience. The likes of Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen helped develop it into a credible team – and it has also failed spectacularly with rookies in the past. The choice to go with Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin back in the day was a matter of survival, given the financial backing both brought. But does Haas really need to go for a rookie driver now? There's no reason to believe so.
So it appears that the Brazilian has been chosen by Haas on sporting grounds, but I can't see how he can be better right now than a proven race winner. Unless there's simply too much pressure from Ferrari to take on another junior from its Academy, I can't see Camara scoring more points for the team straight away than Ocon, with all his experience.
Ocon is still fast and reliable when the car works as it should. So why make the change? Especially if it's for another driver who can be taken away whenever Ferrari needs him.
How can you build your future around drivers who are basically on loan from a bigger team? I thought the Ocon and Bearman combination made perfect sense in that regard, as the Frenchman was the team's own driver. Now Haas gives more of an impression of becoming a Ferrari junior team rather than an independent outfit.
All of that, of course, becomes irrelevant if Komatsu has seen something absolutely special from Camara during these TPC tests – and given how Bearman has turned out, you'd argue Ayao knows what he's doing.
But still, there's a feeling that Ocon has been hard done by the team – which has almost used its underperforming car as an excuse to get rid of him.
This is the chance for Haas to sign a potential generational talent
Over recent rounds it’s been hard to feel anything but sympathy for Ocon, watching him deliver such outlandish statements in a clear desperate plea to stay on the grid. Would he have been saying such things if he weren’t up against it? No. It was clearly a tactic from him to remind people of what he’s done in the past, knowing the jury was very much out.
But like it or not, a lot of what he said was actually true. Ocon did cap off a solid junior career by winning GP3 - beating Max Verstappen in European F3 in the process - and more than held his own for a decade in F1.
His very impressive first full season in 2017 mustn’t be forgotten, scoring points in every round bar two for Force India, nor should the fact that he came very close to a career-changing move to Mercedes during its dominant years. There’s also his win at Hungary, 2021, as well as the fact that he’s one of only two drivers - Jenson Button the other - to outscore Fernando Alonso in a season as team-mates - 92 to 81 in 2022.
It is hoped that the above facts are what Ocon will be remembered for, and not his two seasons with Haas. Similarly, Daniel Ricciardo should mostly be remembered for everything but his decline at the end.
Yet there is another fact - or opinion - that mustn’t be ignored: it is time for Ocon to leave. Although results have improved of late, how much of that is down to the 30-year-old knowing he has a point to prove and a job on the line? Haas just isn’t going to get much better with the Frenchman behind the wheel, but it just might with such an exciting youngster in Camara.
Oleg talks about age and experience, but the 2026 champion-in-waiting - Kimi Antonelli - started the season as a teenager. So is that really as important in this day and age? Camara is also the same age as Bearman, and his junior record speaks for itself.
If he becomes F2 champion, he will join Charles Leclerc, George Russell, Oscar Piastri and fellow Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto to win that and F3 as rookies. Camara will also become the only driver to win those two and FREC in consecutive seasons.
These are all the statistics of a future frontrunner and when one considers the 21-year-old’s speed as outlined by Ben, he is already F1-level. There’s no reason to believe he won’t be fighting for wins and titles in 10 years time. A chance for Haas to sign such a driver may not arise again, so this is an opportunity it must pounce on, and fair play for doing so.
