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. 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.

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. 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.
