Jacob Micallef (born 28 October 2009) is a Maltese racing driver who competes in the F4 Spanish Championship with Campos Racing and part-time in the GB3 Championship for Hitech.
Personal life
Micallef is the son of former drag racer and 2017 FIA European Top Fuel champion Duncan Micallef,[1] and is also the brother of fellow kart racer Kyle Micallef.[2]
In March 2026, Micallef won the Youth of the Year award at the 66th Malta National Sports Choices in recognition of his achievements representing Malta in international motorsport.[3]
Career
Karting (2017–2025)
Micallef began karting at the age of eight,[4] competing until 2025.[5] After finishing third in the 2021 Malta National Karting Championship in the 60cc class,[6] Micallef made his international karting debut the following year, racing in the Italian Karting Championship and the Trofeo Delle Industrie.[7] The following year, Micallef joined Ward Racing for his first full year in International karting as he remained in junior karts.[8] In his only year with Ward Racing, Micallef most notably finished eighth in the Andrea Margutti Trophy and tenth in the ROK Cup Superfinal.[9][10]
Stepping up to senior karting for 2024, Micallef raced with CRG Racing Team for the first half of the year,[11] before switching to VictoryLane and later KR Motorsport to round out the year.[12] During 2024, Micallef also raced with Zanchi Motorsport, finishing second in the ROK SVR class of the Rok Cup Superfinal,[13] and also making a one-off appearance in IAME Series Italy at Lonato, which he won after starting third.[14] Micallef also represented Malta in that year's FIA Motorsport Games Karting Sprint Senior discipline,[15] in which he finished eighth.[16]
Remaining with KR Motorsport for his sophomore season in senior karts,[17] Micallef began the year by finishing 11th in the WSK Super Master Series standings,[18] before finishing third in the Viterbo round of the Karting European Championship en route to a 14th-place points finish.[19] 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.[20][21][22]
Formula 4 (2025–)
Micallef made his single-seater debut in the season-opening round of the F4 Saudi Arabian Championship in Bahrain,[23] finishing ninth and seventh in the two races.[24] A month after his single-seater debut, Micallef joined Campos Racing to compete in the following year's Eurocup-4 Spanish Winter and F4 Spanish Championships.[25] In the three-round Winter Championship, Micallef scored a best result of fifth in race two at Jarama, as the third-highest finishing rookie.[26]
