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 begun 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 competitions linked to General Motors and Corvette.
In an interview with Carburando Radio, Varrone acknowledged 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 things. 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 opportunity last year literally came up overnight. It happened when everything seemed to have fallen through.”
Despite his current role in single-seaters, Varrone admitted that endurance racing continues to be one of his biggest preferences.
“A lot happens in these months and, without a 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, maybe better things come up…”, he explained.
“That doesn’t mean I’m stepping away from Formula 1. This year I’m doing Corvette and F2. It’s not far-fetched to think about an F1 practice session, a test”
, he stated.
In any case, the Argentine made it clear that for that possibility to gain momentum, he will first need to improve his results in the second half of the Formula 2 season.
