Haas names Banco Bradesco as first Brazilian partner before Camara's São Paulo debut

Haas has announced Banco Bradesco as its first Brazilian commercial partner, with the confirmation coming ahead of the São Paulo Grand Prix weekend at Interlagos. The bank, one of Brazil's largest private financial institutions, has backed Rafael Camara since his Formula 3 campaign and has now followed him into Formula 1.

Camara, a Ferrari Driver Academy product signed by Haas alongside Oliver Bearman, is set to make his Formula 1 debut at Interlagos, replacing Esteban Ocon, who has left the team. Bradesco already sponsors Brazilian Stock Car, TCR and Formula 4 Brasil.

The bank is set to take over the rear wing branding from Toyota Gazoo Racing, which had been Haas's title partner. The value of the deal has been estimated at between 15 and 25 million US dollars a year, though this figure is a guess.
