Nicolás Varrone joins Formula 2: how did Kun Agüero influence his move? | OneFootball

Argentinian motorsport is celebrating the arrival of Nicolás Varrone to Formula 2. Starting in 2026, the 24-year-old driver will race for Van Amersfoort Racing, after a tremendous effort both on and off the track. To achieve this dream, he had the help of none other than Sergio Agüero.

With very important behind-the-scenes work, Kun has become a crucial piece for the present of the native of Ingeniero Maschwitz. The former footballer joined Varrone's team and gave a big hand in securing sponsors, a key factor for any driver aspiring to reach F2.

“Kun was really keen to give me a hand and is helping me a lot in other areas. We will surely have him at several F2 races next year, the collaboration is going to be very nice,” Nico expressed in an interview with SportsCenter on ESPN.

And he added: “He's a genius. I watched him since I was a kid and saw him as a god. He’s a super normal person who makes you feel comfortable.” A relationship very similar to that of Bizarrap with Franco Colapinto, considering the importance of the music producer in the success of the current Alpine driver in Formula 1.

After the announcement, Agüero himself shared a video with Varrone, where he handed the helmet to the driver and asked him: “So, are you ready?”

Varrone also thanked Colapinto

In an interview with Carburando, Varrone spoke about the importance of Franco Colapinto in his arrival to F2: “He helped me a lot, thanks to him I got a lot of things. People started to watch more, became more interested, companies, everyone. So obviously he had a lot to do with it.”
