小林优也：拉斐尔·卡马拉因速度而非法拉利关系获得F1 2027席位
哈斯车队老板小林优也表示，新加入F1的拉斐尔·卡马拉因其速度和适应性在车队与旧车型测试中的表现而被选中，而非因为与法拉利的联系。

在评估2027年的车手时，哈斯车队在其之前的车辆测试计划（TPC）中，使用2025年的赛车进行了一系列的测试，邀请了当前F2锦标赛领跑者卡马拉、F2冠军福纳罗利以及预备车手平川和杰克·道汉姆。
卡马拉在波尔蒂马奥的第一场测试中，凭借他的速度和在整个测试过程中适应条件变化的能力，给哈斯车队的领导层留下了深刻印象。小松兴奋地表示，这位巴西人在葡萄牙赛道上的表现是“出色的”。
小松之前曾表示，哈斯车队在选择2027年的车手时，并不需要特别倾向于某个青训车队。卡马拉的签约以及预计保留的奥利弗·贝尔曼，意味着哈斯车队下赛季将有两名法拉利青训车手。
但小松解释说，他只会选择TPC测试中最快的车手。他说：“他是最快的，这是一个非常简单的答案。毫无疑问，他给人留下了深刻的印象。”
“我总是说我们会根据表现来选择车手。然后通过那些评估，拉法展现出了令人难以置信的速度和感觉。所以这是超越其他一切的决定性因素。我们都知道，我们和法拉利有良好的关系，但这仅仅意味着这让我们能够接触到FDA车手。”
“当我们在2023年的墨西哥FP1中有了奥利，那很大程度上是因为这个原因。然后我们真的很印象深刻，所以我们让他在下一年做了六次FP1。然后我们有机会在去年签下他。然后拉法也是一样。我们在关注他的进步。”
“然后他在摩纳哥和蒙特利尔（在F2中的）的资格赛表现，他今年所做的一切，都真的很令人印象深刻。所以和法拉利的这种关系给了我们机会，比如说，接触到拉法。然后在波尔蒂马奥TPC测试中，他表现得非常出色。”
“我真的很不担心。当然，无论你做出什么决定，都涉及到风险。但对我来说，我们真的想要找一个有这种自然速度和感觉的人，因为这是你无法教的东西。”
“如果你看看他参加的一些F2赛事，有时候他表现得很出色，轮胎管理得很好，但有时候就不行。有时候，我们可以说，他的赛车技巧还可以提高。”
“但这些都是我们可以共同努力改进的地方。但我们无法教授感觉。他在Portimao测试中展现出的感觉非常、非常明显，因为赛道条件一直在变化。赛道温度、风向。除此之外，我们还遇到了一些轮胎振动的麻烦。”
“所有这些变化和困难都摆在他面前。他以非常冷静、专业的方式做出了非常正确的判断。所以，总的来说，这是我们明确的选择。”
“小松表示，Camara在本赛季结束前参加FP1的可能性目前是‘待定’，这是车队有权限在稍后做出决定的事情。”
他解释说，哈斯车队之前为贝尔曼准备2025年驾驶经验将有助于车队如何与卡马拉合作，但在为他的项目量身定制之前，需要更深入地了解这位新招募的成员。
"这是一个不同的情况，我们全年通过多个FP1练习会接触到奥利，”小松补充道。"在我们进入完整赛季之前，我们对拉法的了解不如对奥利那么深入。这很令人兴奋，但我认为我们只需要看看面前的人。
"我们需要了解拉法·卡马拉是谁，是什么让他成功，他追求的是什么，我们需要注意什么。我认为这将是一个对我们双方都是学习的过程。
"但我们从如何与奥利在整个新秀赛季以及今年合作中汲取了每一个学习经验和巨大的信心，以发展他的才能，提高他的稳定性，共同合作。"
“这是一级方程式赛车，你必须抓住每一个学习的机会来改善情况。我们最近从Ollie那里学到的所有课程，我们都会应用到Rafa身上。但首先，我们需要了解Rafa Camara这个个体。他也是一个新手，但他们两个人是不同的。”

Ayao Komatsu: Rafael Camara chosen for F1 2027 seat on speed, not Ferrari links
Rafael Camara's speed in a Portimao TPC test was "outstanding", per Haas boss Komatsu

Haas boss Ayao Komatsu says that new Formula 1 recruit Rafael Camara was chosen over the likes of Leonardo Fornaroli and Ryo Hirakawa due to the speed and adaptability he showed during the team's tests with older machinery.
In assessing drivers for 2027, Haas put together a series of runs with the 2025 car in its testing of previous cars (TPC) programme, inviting current Formula 2 championship leader Camara, reigning F2 champion Fornaroli and reserves Hirakawa and Jack Doohan.
It was in Camara's first test at Portimao where he impressed the Haas hierarchy with his pace, and with his ability to drive around the changes in conditions during the run. Komatsu enthused that the Brazilian was "outstanding" at the Portuguese circuit.
Komatsu has stated previously that Haas did not need to cater towards a particular junior team in selecting his drivers for 2027. Camara's signing, plus the expected retention of Oliver Bearman, means that Haas will field two Ferrari juniors next season.
But Komatsu explained that he was only ever going to pick the fastest driver in the TPC running. "He was the quickest, that's a very simple answer," Komatsu stated. "Definitely, he was impressive.
"I always said we're going to choose drivers by performance. And then through those evaluations, Rafa just showed incredible speed and feel. So that was the fully overriding factor above everything else. We have a good relationship with Ferrari, as you all know, but that just means that gives us access to FDA drivers.
"When we had Oli in the Mexico FP1 [in 2023], that was largely because of that. Then we were really impressed, so we got him to do six FP1s in the following year. Then we had a chance to sign him for '25 last year. And then Rafa was the same. We are watching his progress.
"And then his qualifying like Monaco and Montreal [in Formula 2], what he's done this year, was really impressive. So having that relationship with Ferrari gave us the chance to, let's say, have access to Rafa. And then in the Portimao TPC test, he was just simply outstanding.
"I really don't have huge concerns. Of course, there's risks involved in everything in whatever the decision you take. But for me, we really wanted to go for someone who's got this natural speed and feeling, because that's something you cannot teach.
"If you look at some of the F2 races, sometimes he races very well, good tyre management, but sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes his, let's say, race craft can be improved.
"But those things, I believe, we can work together to improve. But we cannot teach feeling. And the feeling he's got, that was very, very clear in Portimao testing because the track condition was always changing. Track temperature, wind condition. On top of that, we had some issue with tyre vibration as well.
"All the variations and difficulties thrown at him. He really judged it very, very well in a very calm manner, professional manner. So overall, that was a clear choice for us."
Komatsu stated that a potential FP1 appearance for Camara before the end of the season was currently "TBC" and a decision that the team had licence to make later down the line.
He explained that Haas' previous experience with preparing Bearman for a drive in 2025 would feed into how the team works with Camara, but it needed to get to know its new recruit further before tailoring its programme towards him.
"It's a different situation, where we had access to Ollie throughout the year via multiple FP1 sessions," added Komatsu. "We don't know Rafa as well as we knew Ollie before we go into the full season. It's exciting, but I think we just got to look at who's in front of us.
"We need to understand who Rafa Camara is, what makes it work for him, what kind of things he strives on, what kind of things we need to watch out for. I think it's going to be a learning process for both of us.
"But we take every learning and huge confidence from how we've been working with Ollie throughout his rookie season and this year to develop his talent, develop his consistency, working together.
"It's Formula 1, you've got to take every opportunity of learning to improve the scenario. All the recent lessons we've learned with Ollie, we'll be putting everything into Rafa. But first and foremost, we need to understand Rafa Camara as an individual. He's also a rookie, but they're two different people."
