Last year Maloney was an F2 rookie and finished the 2023 season in 10th place in the Drivers’ Championship with four podiums. However, this year he showed significant improvement, becoming the fastest driver at the Bahrain test in February.

Despite the uncertainties of F2 racing, Maloney’s goal remains winning races and ultimately the championship, understanding that consistency and teamwork are key to achieving success.
