Nicolás Varrone’s Cryptic Post Revives Talk of a Cadillac F1 Reserve Role in 2026

The GM-backed Le Mans winner hinted at a step up with a brief message on X that reanimated reports of his inclusion in Cadillac’s 2026 plans.

Overview

  • Varrone wrote “God not only listens, he is also Argentine” on X, a callback to his 2024 post about GM/Cadillac’s F1 bid that prompted fresh speculation about his future.
  • Local outlets report he is a candidate for a reserve or development position at Cadillac, though no appointment has been officially confirmed.
  • Cadillac has locked in Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas for its 2026 race seats, making any Varrone role a non-race assignment if it materializes.
  • Varrone is a Corvette factory driver with standout endurance results, including a 2023 Le Mans win and the FIA WEC LMGTE title that same year.
  • The Argentine tested Formula 2 machinery in 2024 and 2025 with teams reported as AIX and VAR, as GM/Cadillac readies its confirmed 2026 F1 entry featuring additional development drivers and a planned debut in Melbourne on March 8, 2026.
