Sérgio Santos Sette Câmara Filho (born 23 May 1998) is a Brazilian racing driver who currently competes in the 2025 European Le Mans Series with Nielsen Racing. He previously competed in Formula E, having previously raced for Dragon / Penske and ERT Formula E Team. Sette Câmara was part of the Red Bull Junior Team from 2015 to 2017, then again in 2020. In that time, he signed with the McLaren Driver Development Programme in late 2018 to take part in the 2019 season as a development driver.
After he turned sixteen, Sette Câmara was legally able to race in the national F3 championship (Class A) in Brazil. He made his debut at the fourth round at Interlagos. Although he could not quite match up to teammate Pedro Piquet, he finished the year with a strong seventh.
Sette Câmara also made his European F3 debut at the second-last round at Imola, driving for EuroInternational. Driving as a guest driver and ineligible for championship points, Sette Câmara finished 14th, 20th, and 21st respectively in the three races over the weekend.
After a one-off appearance that year, Sette Câmara made his full-time debut for the 2015 season, driving for Motopark. After a rather disappointing start to the season, his luck turned for the better at Spa where he achieved his first podium in Europe where he finished third. After that race, Sette Câmara went on to score more consistently than not while achieving another third place at Red Bull Ring and went on to finish 14th in the championship with 57.5 points next to his name.
The annual meeting at Zandvoort for the Masters of F3 event was a successful one for Sette Câmara, bagging a pole position for the qualification race. In that race, he finished in third place and also finished third in the main race.
Another annual meeting for Formula 3 drivers, this time at Macau, a circuit Sette Câmara had not competed on before. His weekend started well by qualifying seventh, an impressive result for a rookie. In the qualification race, he improved one position to finish a respectable sixth place. In the main race, he struck trouble before finishing 22nd, last of the runners and two minutes off eventual winner Felix Rosenqvist. Despite the disappointing result, Sette Câmara recorded the fastest lap of the race which not only was over 1.5 seconds faster than his own fastest qualifying lap, but it is now also the outright lap record for the Macau GP circuit.
Sette Câmara made his Toyota Racing Series debut in 2015 after replacing Dzhon Simonyan at Taupo. He ended the season with 199 points and placed 20th overall.
Returning with Motopark for a second season, now part of the Red Bull Junior Team, the 2016 season for Sette Câmara started off with a tricky weekend at Circuit Paul Ricard when he was taken out by his teammate at the first corner in race 1. But from Hungaroring onwards, Sette Câmara started to prove that he was a genuine competitor on the track by performing some top quality overtaking maneuvers and consistently finishing in the 'points paying positions' including podiums at Pau and Red Bull Ring. Unfortunately, the second half of the season was less than lucky for Sette Câmara: he had many high grid position placings, including a pole position, taken away from him due to grid penalties and suffered other problems, including a drive-through penalty whilst running in 2nd place at Hockenheim. He finished 11th in the championship at the season's end but that did not justify the pace he had all year.
Like last year's event, Sette Câmara enjoyed success at the Zandvoort event. After qualifying seventh for the qualification race, he ended finishing fifth in that race and then in the main race, Sette Câmara finished third once again to top off a successful outing.
Returning after a record-breaking race weekend for him in last year's event, Sette Câmara came into the event with Carlin, a team he had never raced with previously. With past winner Antonio Felix da Costa and rising stars Jake Hughes and Lando Norris as his teammates, Sette Câmara was not going to have it easy. He showed his strong form by qualifying in fourth place, just one place behind da Costa. In the qualification race, Sette Câmara made up one place in the race to finish third behind da Costa and former Red Bull Junior Callum Ilott. For the main race, Sette Câmara held the lead for half of the race in strong fashion until Nikita Mazepin crashed and brought out the safety car. Once the safety car came in, he was immediately pressured by da Costa and lost the lead in an epic duel between them and Felix Rosenqvist, reigning and two-time winner of this event, also snuck by Sette Câmara after putting extreme pressure on and Sette Câmara held onto 3rd place at the end of the race to take a podium in one of the most prestigious events in world motorsport, finishing behind now two-time winner da Costa and Rosenqvist.
In November 2016, Câmara was confirmed to be stepping up to FIA Formula 2 Championship with MP Motorsport for the 2017 season.
Arriving at Bahrain for Round 1 of the new era of Formula 2, Sette Câmara had a challenge on his hands as he not only had to prove he can match experienced teammate Jordan King, but he also had to prove that being the youngest driver on the grid was not going to hold him back, and after qualifying, he proved he can be quick from the get go as he qualified an impressive tenth for his first ever race and qualified one place ahead of his teammate in the process. Race 1 proved to be the real challenge however as tyre degradation played a massive role in the outcome of the race, but Sette Câmara held on nicely and took a fine 12th place at the end but got relegated to 13th after a time penalty for forcing Campos driver Ralph Boschung off the track. Race 2 did not end up too much better for Sette Câmara, as a puncture on lap 1 forced him into the pits for a tyre change and he did not help his own cause by stalling in the pits either. Eager to prove his worth after a major setback, Sette Câmara went out and while he was too far back from the rest of the field, he was lapping times quicker than most. By the end, he finished a miserable 18th but set the fastest lap of the race and was the only driver to lap a 1: 43-second lap but unfortunately did not get the two points for the fastest lap as he failed to finish inside the top-ten.
Unfortunately for Sette Câmara, points did not get earned at either Spain or Monaco. Struggling for genuine pace in the feature race before being forced off the track by Johnny Cecotto in the sprint race at Spain and being to told to stop crying by his own team over the radio and retiring with a suspension failure whilst in the points in the feature race and being stuck at the back of the field due to extremely difficult overtaking opportunities in the sprint race at Monaco were his problems.
Baku, Austria, Silverstone and Hungaroring were also quiet and scoreless runs for Sette Câmara but could have had a breakthrough points score in Austria after qualifying second before being disqualified and sent to the back of the grid for having an irregular fuel sample in the car and to sum up his season going into the summer break, scoring 0 points from 14 races was certainly not what Sette Câmara planned to achieve.
After the summer break, Sette Câmara returned to the Spa circuit where he had much success in the past. After qualifying 11th for the feature race in a session that was hit by heavy rain, Sette Câmara wasted no time in making his way up inside the top-ten. He finished eighth, his first points finish of the season, before being promoted to sixth after the disqualifications of Charles Leclerc and Oliver Rowland. Starting third for the sprint race, Sette Câmara made the best start of the season as he managed to take the lead out of turn 1. He had tough competition behind him, but held the lead until the end. This was his first race win not only in Formula 2, but in car racing in general, as he had not won a race since his karting days.
