Who is Nicolás Varrone, the Argentine Boca fan making waves in F2 | OneFootball

In a historic moment for Argentine motorsport, Colapinto became an Alpine driver in Formula 1, carrying not only the sky blue and white flag, but also the blue and gold colors of Boca. His passion for the club from La Ribera has been well known since his early days in motorsport, and now, in the top category, he displays it with pride. But fortunately, he is not alone, the Xeneize passion also accelerates in another young Argentine talent: Nicolás Varrone.

The native of Ingeniero Maschwitz has just taken a fundamental step in his career by joining Formula 2, the direct stepping stone to F1, as an official driver for Van Amersfoort Racing for the 2026 season of the category.

Nicolás Varrone confirmed as Van Amersfoort Racing driver for F2.

Varrone, two-time champion of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, is another fervent Boca fan who dreams of making it to the Big Circus. His path was not easy. After competing in British Formula 3, he had to quit due to lack of funding. In 2018, he launched a project together with Boca executives to receive support for his career, but the pandemic cut that initiative short. However, he found his place in the Endurance Championship, where he collected victories and international experience.

Now, with his arrival at Van Amersfoort Racing, Varrone is preparing to face the challenge of F2. His debut will be at the post-season test in Abu Dhabi, before starting the championship that kicks off in Melbourne from March 6 to 8. The season will consist of 14 rounds and 28 races, including a historic first visit to Madrid. The finale will once again be in Abu Dhabi, from December 4 to 6.

Van Amersfoort Racing, founded in 1975 in the Netherlands, is known for having launched stars such as Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, and Mick Schumacher. Now, with Varrone in their ranks, the team adds another driver with a hunger for glory and a Boca heart.

The dream is underway. With Colapinto at Alpine (very likely to continue there next year) and Varrone in F2, Argentine motorsport is living a new era, tinged with sky blue, white... and blue and gold.
