Rafael Camara has conceded that there are “a lot of things to discuss” as he waits to learn if he will compete at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Camara was announced only for the Brazilian weekend.

Rafael Camara to learn Las Vegas F1 fate

Camara made his F1 debut in difficult conditions at last weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix, following the axing of former Haas driver Esteban Ocon mid-event in Mexico.

Although reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa was given the nod on that occasion, the Japanese driver having already completed FP1 as part of the team’s mandatory rookie running, Camara was selected for Brazil.

In part, this was due to Hirakawa being unavailable due to a clash with the World Endurance Championship finale, an event that saw him clinch the title for a third time. But Camara having already been confirmed as Ocon’s 2027 replacement also played into this, as, most likely, did the marketing benefits of fielding a Brazilian in his home race.

However, Camara was only confirmed for the Brazilian weekend. Although he could see the season out and bank valuable experience, this would mean that he would forfeit his F2 title chances; a big ask given that he currently leads the standings from Red Bull junior Nikola Tsolov.

While F2 is set to race alongside F1 in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, this leaves the question of Las Vegas.

“I don’t know,” said Camara when asked of his prospects for the remainder of the year.

“We’ll see. There will be a lot of things to discuss after this weekend. But whatever will be, I will be happy in doing.

“I’m doing what I love to do; that is driving. So both of the cases will be good.”

Camara showed strong pace across the opening phases of the Interlagos weekend, but struggled increasingly as the weekend progressed.

This included a lucky escape as he spun in Q1, before a nose-first collision with the wall put him out of Q2.

In the race, he crossed the line last of the classified finishers, but two laps behind race winner Lando Norris.

“I think you, in a way, have time to realise what’s happening, but at the same time, it’s very quick everything,” he said.

“Also, a lot of things to see to prepare to put in place with the team, and it’s almost you don’t stop. The time didn’t really stop.

“It’s going back to the hotel where you’re sleeping, but for sure it was a weekend that I was able to enjoy. I had a lot of fun on track; driving an F1 car is what you dream of doing, and it was a weekend that was really enjoyable.“
