Rafael Camara has conceded that there are \u201ca lot of things to discuss\u201d as he waits to learn if he will compete at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

Camara was announced only for the Brazilian weekend.<\/p>\n

Rafael Camara to learn Las Vegas F1 fate<\/p>\n

Camara made his F1 debut in difficult conditions at last weekend\u2019s Sao Paulo Grand Prix, following the axing of former Haas driver Esteban Ocon mid-event in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Although reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa was given the nod on that occasion, the Japanese driver having already completed FP1 as part of the team\u2019s mandatory rookie running, Camara was selected for Brazil.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 2027 replacement also played into this, as, most likely, did the marketing benefits of fielding a Brazilian in his home race.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

While F2 is set to race alongside F1 in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, this leaves the question of Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d said Camara when asked of his prospects for the remainder of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see. There will be a lot of things to discuss after this weekend. But whatever will be, I will be happy in doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing what I love to do; that is driving. So both of the cases will be good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rafael Camara issues verdict after tough F1 debut<\/a><\/p>\n

Haas team boss stands by Esteban Ocon sacking in \u2018comfortable\u2019 decision<\/a><\/p>\n

Camara showed strong pace across the opening phases of the Interlagos weekend, but struggled increasingly as the weekend progressed.<\/p>\n

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

In the race, he crossed the line last of the classified finishers, but two laps behind race winner Lando Norris.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you, in a way, have time to realise what\u2019s happening, but at the same time, it\u2019s very quick everything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, a lot of things to see to prepare to put in place with the team, and it\u2019s almost you don\u2019t stop. The time didn\u2019t really stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going back to the hotel where you\u2019re 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.\u201c<\/p>\n
