Nicolás Varrone is going through his first Formula 2 season in 2026 and, while a large part of the championship still remains, he has already started thinking about how his racing career will continue next year.

The driver from Ingeniero Maschwitz competes for Van Amersfoort Racing and, after the first nine rounds, sits 19th in the championship with 14 points. In addition, whenever the calendar allows, he keeps up his commitments in endurance and GT racing linked to General Motors and Corvette.

In an interview with Carburando Radio, Varrone admitted that his future for 2027 is completely open and listed the different categories that are among his possibilities.

“Nothing is ruled out: IndyCar, F2, F1, IMSA, WEC. Everything is on the table. We have to look at a lot of things, what is best for my career. There are many options, many possibilities. It’s very difficult to plan anything”, he said.

In that regard, he recalled how the opportunity to move into Formula 2 came about: “The Formula 2 thing last year literally came up from one day to the next. It happened when everything seemed to have fallen through.”

Despite his current single-seater campaign, Varrone admitted that endurance racing continues to be one of his biggest preferences.

“A lot happens in these months and, no doubt, for the people who ask me what I’d like to do, IMSA. I really like it as a driver; if there’s a Corvette, being able to do the Endurance races, but also if other things come up that might be better…”, he explained.

“That doesn’t mean I’m giving up on Formula 1. This year I’m doing Corvette and F2. It’s not crazy to think about an F1 run, an F1 test”

, he stated.

In any case, the Argentine made it clear that for that possibility to gain momentum, he will first have to improve his results in the second half of the Formula 2 season.

“Before that, we have to have a good second half of the year in F2 so that those doors can open”
