Ferrari Reshapes Driver Pathway as Two Academy Stars Move On

The changes signal a shift toward defined factory development roles and outward placements that will place one FDA graduate in an F1 race seat next season.

Overview

  • Ferrari confirmed on Friday that Rafael Camara and Dino Beganovic have graduated from the Ferrari Driver Academy with Camara set to race for Haas in 2027 and Beganovic stepping up to a Scuderia Ferrari reserve and development role.
  • Beganovic will end his full-time Formula 2 campaign to focus on simulator work, weekend development duties and standby race responsibilities at Ferrari while sharing the reserve roster with Antonio Giovinazzi.
  • Camara’s reported Haas seat follows a rapid rise through the feeder series that saw him lead the 2026 F2 standings as a rookie and is expected to pair him with fellow FDA graduate Oliver Bearman at Haas.
  • Ferrari refreshed its 2027 junior line-up by signing three newcomers—Alp Aksoy, Salim Hanna and Daniel Miron—and promoted existing prospects across categories including Tuukka Taponen’s move up to F2 with ART and Noah Baglin and Filippo Sala stepping into Spanish F4.
  • The roster moves underline Ferrari’s two-track talent strategy where top juniors are placed into partner-team race seats or into factory reserve roles that prioritize simulator and development work and could affect how quickly other FDA drivers reach F1.
