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.
Career Karting (2017–2025) Micallef began karting at the age of eight, competing until 2025. After finishing third in the 2021 Malta National Karting Championship in the 60cc class, Micallef made his international karting debut the following year, racing in the Italian Karting Championship and the Trofeo Delle Industrie. The following year, Micallef joined Ward Racing for his first full year in International karting as he remained in junior karts. In his only year with Ward Racing, Micallef most notably finished eighth in the Andrea Margutti Trophy and tenth in the ROK Cup Superfinal.
Stepping up to senior karting for 2024, Micallef raced with CRG Racing Team for the first half of the year, before switching to VictoryLane and later KR Motorsport to round out the year. During 2024, Micallef also raced with Zanchi Motorsport, finishing second in the ROK SVR class of the Rok Cup Superfinal, and also making a one-off appearance in IAME Series Italy at Lonato, which he won after starting third. Micallef also represented Malta in that year's FIA Motorsport Games Karting Sprint Senior discipline, in which he finished eighth.
Remaining with KR Motorsport for his sophomore season in senior karts, Micallef began the year by finishing 11th in the WSK Super Master Series standings, before finishing third in the Viterbo round of the Karting European Championship en route to a 14th-place points finish. 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.

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. In the three-round Winter Championship, Micallef scored a best result of fifth in race two at Jarama, as the third-highest finishing rookie.
