[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.
