Karting

Formula 4

At the start of 2022, Domingues made his single-seater debut with Xcel Motorsport in the Formula 4 UAE Championship.^[3] Following two point-less rounds, Domingues scored his first points in the second Dubai Autodrome round. In the fourth round, he achieved his maiden pole position in car racing after a disappointing session just minutes prior.^[4] He went on to finish third and took another podium in the season finale at Yas Marina. Domingues finished 16th in the standings, just nine points behind his experienced teammate Jamie Day.^[5]

Following that campaign, Domingues was announced to be joining Maya Weug at Iron Lynx in Italian F4.^[6][7] Domingues scored a pole position in wet conditions during the opening event at Imola.^[8] He finished 15th in the standings, with 21 points.^[9]

Domingues continued in FRECA on a full-time basis in 2024, remaining with Van Amersfoort Racing.^[14] He experienced a strong opening round, securing fifth and a debut podium in the Hockenheim opener.^[15] Domingues had a scoreless second round, but was able to notch up consistent points finishes throughout the season, even securing another third placed podium at Mugello.^[16] Domingues wrapped his season tenth in the standings, with 78 points, behind teammates Pedro Clerot and Brando Badoer.

FIA Formula 3 Championship

Domingues moved up to FIA Formula 3 for 2025, continuing his relationship with Van Amersfoort Racing.^[17] The campaign began with three qualifying results of 23rd or worse, compounded by collisions with Joshua Dufek and James Wharton in the races at Bahrain, a spin at Tosa during the Imola sprint race, and a retirement after being hit by Brad Benavides in the Imola feature.^{[18][19][20][21]} Domingues qualified 17th in Monaco but was eliminated in a lap 1 collision during the sprint race.^[22][23] His breakthrough came in Spain, where Domingues qualified a season-best seventh, meaning he started the sprint from sixth.^[24] A chaotic start which eliminated multiple frontrunners allowed Domingues to take the lead on the opening lap, one that he would keep until the end to take his first single-seater victory on his 95th attempt.^[25][26] The next day, he backed his success with sixth in the feature race.^[27] Thereafter, he failed to score points throughout the rest of the season, meaning Domingues finished 19th in the standings with 18 points; placing behind teammates Santiago Ramos and Théophile Naël.^[28] He was expected to remain with the team for 2026, but he was not retained following a string of retirements towards the end of the season.^[29]
