Brazilian reserve driver Pietro Fittipaldi will make his Formula One race debut with Haas at next weekend's Sakhir Grand Prix in Bahrain, as a stand-in for the injured Romain Grosjean.
Frenchman Grosjean suffered burns to the back of his hands in a fiery crash that split his car in two during the Bahrain Grand Prix.
The 34-year-old is expected to remain in hospital until at least Wednesday (NZ time).
The Miami-born Brazilian, 24, is a grandson of twice Formula One world champion and double Indianapolis 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi.
The Sakhir Grand Prix is the penultimate race of the season, which ends in Abu Dhabi a weekend later.
Haas are ninth out of 10 teams in the standings and have not scored a point since the Eifel Grand Prix at the Nuerburgring on October 11.
Grosjean is due to leave Ferrari-powered Haas at the end of the season, along with Danish teammate Kevin Magnussen.
Mick Schumacher - son of seven-time world champion Michael and the current Formula Two leader - is expected to join next season, along with Russian Nikita Mazepin.
