Cadillac considers replacing Herta with Câmara amid F2 challenges

Summary

Cadillac is reportedly evaluating a driver swap for the 2027 Formula 1 season, specifically looking to replace Colton Herta.

In contrast, 21-year-old Brazilian Rafael Câmara is emerging as a top candidate after a strong F2 debut, featuring two victories and four podiums. Cadillac hopes signing Câmara could enhance its relationship with Ferrari as they prepare for future regulations.
