Câmara will drive the SF-25, the model used by Ferrari in the 2025 season, at the Enzo e Dino Ferrari International Circuit. Before the Brazilian’s activity, the circuit will host Pirelli tire tests on September 15 and 16, with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc behind the wheel of the 2026 car. Afterwards, Ferrari intends to use the facility for other activities. Swedish driver Dino Beganovic is also expected to participate.
The new activity comes after a test that reinforced the positive assessment of the Brazilian. In Portimão, during a session with Haas, Câmara was faster than Oliver Bearman, the current full-time driver for the American team and a driver who competed in the 2025 season precisely with the VF-25 used in the work.

The Brazilian also finished ahead of Leonardo Fornaroli, McLaren reserve and Formula 2 champion, and Ryo Hirakawa, Toyota driver in the World Endurance Championship (WEC). The advantage was almost four tenths over Fornaroli and seven tenths over Hirakawa. The feedback provided by the driver and his ability to adapt to different scenarios were also considered positive points during the two days of testing.
