F2's Câmara targets strong Budapest weekend after Spa success
Rafael Câmara arrives at the Hungaroring aiming to extend his strong form after claiming pole and victory in the Spa-Francorchamps Feature Race for Invicta Racing.
Spa momentum carries to Budapest
Rafael Câmara secured his fourth pole of the 2026 F2 season at Spa-Francorchamps with a 1m 56.306s lap.[1] He converted that starting position into his second feature race victory of the year.[2]
The Brazilian driver for Invicta Racing now heads to the Hungaroring round of the Hungarian Grand Prix support program. He sits third in the championship on 130 points.[3]
Focus on execution
Câmara's recent pole-to-win conversion at Spa demonstrates improved race craft. This sets a platform for consistent points at a circuit where overtaking remains difficult. Maintaining that discipline through the sprint and feature races could narrow the gap to the championship leaders.
Calendar context
The 2026 F2 calendar places the Hungaroring event immediately after Spa. Both rounds fall under the Belgian and Hungarian Grand Prix weekends respectively. Official timing confirms the feature race on July 26.[3]
