Career

Karting (2017–2023)

Molnár made his competitive karting debut in 2017, where he came seventh in the Micro Max class of the Hungarian International Open and came 13th following year. After competing in various WSK sanctioned events in 2019, he had his breakout season in 2020, where he won three karting titles in the Mini Max category of the Rotax Max Challenge Austria, Rotax Max Challenge Central-Eastern Europe and the CEZ Karting Trophy. He also came fifth in the Rotax Max Challenge International Trophy.[1]

In late 2021, Molnár moved up to the OK Junior class and came runner-up in both the 49th and 50th editions of the Trofeo delle Industrie. He also came eighth on his CIK-FIA World Championship debut in 2022.[2][3]

Molnár stepped up to the OK category in late 2022, and in 2023 he won the 27° South Garda Winter Cup and finished runner-up to the WSK Champions Cup.

Formula 4 (2024–2025)

2024

After not winning the 2024 Richard Mille Young Talent Academy shootout, Molnár made his single-seater and Formula 4 debut in the 2024 F4 British Championship, driving for Virtuosi Racing, where he partnered Yuhao Fu and Maxwell Dodds.[4][5]

By a significant margin, Molnár was the best driver in the team and the only one to get a podium. Molnár grabbed five podiums throughout the latter half of the season from Circuit Zandvoort and onwards.[6] He finished 8th in the drivers championship with 117.5 points and also beat Mercedes Junior Yuanpu Cui to the Rookies Cup by eleven points.[7][8]

Molnár also won the inaugural Jake Cook Memorial Award, awarded by the team managers to the driver with the most improvement during the season.[9]

2025

Molnár kicked off his 2025 Formula 4 campaign with the 2025 F4 Middle East Championship driving for Evans GP.[10] Molnár got points in the first five races and maintained a consistent streak, which was halted by a retirement in the third race of the second round at the Yas Marina Circuit, which was caused by a collision with Oleksandr Bondarev.[11] Later, he matched his best result in the championship of seventh in the second race of the fourth round at Yas Marina Circuit. Molnár retired from the second race of the fifth and final round at the Lusail International Circuit after Salim Hanna crashed on top of him on lap seven.[12] He finished the championship in 13th with 42 points.[13]

Following his winter series venture, Molnár continued his partnership with Virtuosi Racing for the 2025 F4 British Championship.[14] He got a podium in the first round at Donington Park and collected two more podiums at Silverstone Circuit.[15]

After achieving another second place at Snetterton Circuit, Molnár won his first ever race a round later in the first race of Thruxton Circuit and collected a second place in the final race.[16][17][18]

At Oulton Park, Molnár got his first ever pole positions in the first and third race, converting them to second and eighth places, respectively.[19][20][21] He recorded his final win of the series at Circuit Zandvoort, and in the latter half of the season he lost his lead on the championship, which went to Irishman and Red Bull Junior Team driver, Fionn McLaughlin.[22][23][24] James Piszcyk also overtook him in the championship and Molnár ended up third in the standings with two wins, three pole positions, seven fastest laps, ten podiums and 277 points.[25]

Formula Regional (2026–)

Molnár stepped up to the GB3 Championship in 2026 with Rodin Motorsport.[26]

Personal life

Molnár was signed by Motorsport Talent Management in 2021, and is currently managed by former racing driver Tamás Pál Kiss.[27]
