Career

Karting

Maloney started racing in North America at the age of 12 and after multiple karting titles in Barbados and America he soon moved over to Europe to compete for Ricky Flynn Motorsport.[1] Maloney placed 4th in the Karting European Championship, 5th in the World Championships and 3rd in the German Championship and WSK Champions Cup respectively in 2018.

Lower formulae

Maloney's first single seater season was in 2019 in the British F4 championship for Carlin Motorsport. Maloney won 10 races and ended up on the podium 15 times, he became the first driver since Jamie Caroline to win all three races in a single weekend, at Oulton Park. Maloney won the championship by 20 points over Mexican Sebastián Álvarez at the final round of the season. Through that he became the first Barbadian racing driver to win a championship in Europe, and the first rookie to win the championship outright in the history of the series.[2]

Euroformula Open Championship

In January 2020, Maloney reunited with Carlin to contest the 2020 season.[3] He scored his debut podium in the second race of the season at the Hungaroring, having finished 4th the day before. His next podium came at the Circuit Paul Ricard, but unfortunately for Maloney, this would end up being his final podium finish of the season. After scoreless rounds in Spielberg and Spa the Barbadian finished the season eighth in the drivers' standings, one position and point behind teammate Ido Cohen.[4]

Formula Regional European Championship

In December 2020, Maloney was signed to R-ace GP to contest the 2021 season.[5] His first podium came at the second race of the first round in Imola, where he finished third.[6] Following two ninth-place finishes in Barcelona, Maloney had an impressive round in Monaco: the Bajan finished second in the first race,[7] and then won the second race from pole position, thus becoming the first Caribbean driver to be victorious in the Principality.[8]

FIA Formula 3 Championship

In November 2021 Maloney took part in the FIA Formula 3 post-season test, driving for reigning team champions Trident.[9] In January the following year, the Italian outfit confirmed Maloney would race with them for the 2022 season.[10]

Personal life

Maloney's uncle manages the Bushy Park Circuit in Barbados.[11]
