Em Austin, onde a F1 corre neste domingo o GP dos Estados Unidos, a promoção de Rafael Câmara a titular da Haas em 2027 dominou as conversas do paddock.
Rivais do brasileiro nas categorias de base, Gabriel Bortoleto e Kimi Antonelli falaram sobre a promoção do pernambucano, que ganhou a Fórmula 3 no primeiro ano e lidera a disputa da F2.
Bortoleto, piloto da Audi, lembrou a convivência desde o kart. “Fiquei muito feliz. O Rafa (Câmara) é um cara super merecedor de estar na F1. Ele ganhou a Fórmula 3 em seu primeiro ano e agora está liderando a disputa pelo título da F2.”
Sobre eventuais duelos em pista, disse esperar brigas por resultados maiores. “Claro que, no final das contas, é cada um por si. Seria incrível um dia ver a gente lutando por grandes resultados, seria incrível, por serem dois brasileiros.”
Autoridade da Haas e da Audi no Mundial de Construtores: as duas equipes disputam a sétima colocação, e um duelo direto entre Bortoleto e Câmara em 2027 pode virar rotina.
Quem também comentou foi Antonelli, líder do campeonato e candidato a se tornar, neste domingo, o campeão mais jovem da história da F1 — ele tem 20 anos. “Estou muito feliz por ele. Acho que ele merece totalmente isso. Ele é um piloto incrivelmente rápido, e somos bons amigos.”
Na Haas, Oliver Bearman, futuro companheiro de equipe do brasileiro (ainda que o time não tenha anunciado oficialmente), contou que os dois chegaram juntos à Academia Ferrari. “Entramos para a Ferrari no mesmo dia, assinamos contrato na mesma época.”
O GP dos Estados Unidos será neste domingo, no Circuito das Américas, com transmissão do sportv 3.
