Sérgio Sette Câmara Filho (born 23 May 1998) is a Brazilian racing driver. He is a former member of the Red Bull Junior Team.
Once he turned 16, Sette Câmara was legally able to race in the national F3 championship (Class A) in Brazil and made his debut at the 4th round at Interlagos. Although he could not quite match teammate Pedro Piquet, he finished the year in a strong 7th.
He also made his European F3 at the 2nd last round at Imola, driving for EuroInternational. Driving as guest driver and ineligible for championship points, Sette Câmara finished 14th, 20th and 21st respectively in the 3 races over the weekend.
After a one-off appearance last 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 3rd. After that race, Sette Câmara went on to score more consistently than not while achieving another 3rd 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 3rd place and also finished 3rd 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 7th, an impressive result for a rookie. In the qualification race, he improved 1 position to finish a respectable 6th place. In the main race, he struck trouble before finishing 22nd, last of the runners and 2 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's now also the outright lap record for the Macau GP circuit.
