Rafael Chaves Câmara (born 5 May 2005) is a Brazilian racing driver, who is set to compete in the 2025 FIA Formula 3 Championship for Trident.
[11] His main campaign would lie in Europe, where he would be driving in the Italian F4 and ADAC F4 series, partnering Wurz, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Conrad Laursen and fellow FDA member James Wharton at Prema.
[15][16] Victory eluded him in the next two rounds, although the Brazilian was able to cement his place as the closest challenger to title favourite Antonelli, with a pair of podiums at Hockenheim and Zandvoort respectively.
[22] Another victory followed at Misano, where the Brazilian proved his opportunism by overtaking his Italian teammate at the safety car restart,[23] which was then followed by another impressive weekend at Spa, where, having stalled from pole position in Race 3, Câmara recovered to third by the checkered flag.
Having tested with the team at the end of 2022, Câmara would progress to the Formula Regional European Championship with Prema Racing the following year, driving alongside Antonelli and category veteran Lorenzo Fluxá.
[1] Câmara joined the Ferrari Driver Academy in 2022 alongside Oliver Bearman after competing in the FDA World Scouting Finals.
