Career
Karting (2017–2025)
Micallef began karting at the age of eight,[3] competing until 2025.[4] After finishing third in the 2021 Malta National Karting Championship in the 60cc class,[5] Micallef made his international karting debut the following year, racing in the Italian Karting Championship and the Trofeo Delle Industrie.[6] The following year, Micallef joined Ward Racing for his first full year in International karting as he remained in junior karts.[7] In his only year with Ward Racing, Micallef most notably finished eighth in the Andrea Margutti Trophy and 10th in the ROK Cup Superfinal.[8][9]
Stepping up to senior karting for 2024, Micallef raced with CRG Racing Team for the first half of the year,[10] before switching to VictoryLane and later KR Motorsport to round out the year.[11] During 2024, Micallef also raced with Zanchi Motorsport, finishing second in the ROK SVR class of the Rok Cup Superfinal,[12] and also making a one-off appearance in IAME Series Italy at Lonato, which he won after starting third.[13] Micallef also represented Malta in that year's FIA Motorsport Games Karting Sprint Senior discipline,[14] in which he finished eighth.[15]
Remaining with KR Motorsport for his sophomore season in senior karts,[16] Micallef began the year by finishing 11th in the WSK Super Master Series standings,[17] before finishing third in the Viterbo round of the Karting European Championship en route to a 14th-place points finish.[18] During 2025, Micallef also made one-off appearances in the IAME Euro Series and Champions of the Future Academy Program, finishing third in the former and winning race two in the latter.[19][20][21]
Formula 4 (2025–)
Micallef made his single-seater debut in the season-opening round of the F4 Saudi Arabian Championship in Bahrain,[22] finishing ninth and seventh in the two races.[23] A month after his single-seater debut, Micallef joined Campos Racing to compete in the following year's F4 Spanish Championship.[24]
