Trident. In January the following year, the Italian outfit confirmed Maloney would race with them for the
2022 season. He had a shaky start in the
Bahrain opener, finishing fourth in the sprint but an engine issue derailed his race on the opening lap. He then secured his maiden pole position in rainy conditions at
Imola, despite being "annoyed at [myself]". After finishing sixth in the sprint race, a spin at the safety car restart during the feature race cost him the chance of achieving victory. In
Barcelona, Maloney missed the weighbridge during qualifying, forcing him to start from the pit lane in both races. Despite making up a total of 26 positions during the races, he was forced to cope with his first non-scoring round. In
Silverstone, Maloney qualified in third. He had a quiet sprint race, finishing in seventh, but his feature race derailed after he was tipped into a spin on the opening lap by

Victor Martins early on. This rocketed him to fifth in the standings, making him an outside chance for the title. Maloney's qualifying form continued in the
Monza finale, securing another front row start. In a chaotic sprint race, Maloney charged from 11th to fourth place. During the feature race, Maloney successfully defended against early challenges from Martins and
Alexander Smolyar, and later fended off a strong attack from Bearman in a closely contested battle for the top step of the podium. Maloney ultimately emerged victorious, securing his third win.

Following the race, Maloney stated that "the engine shut off" mid-race momentarily. Maloney had a dreadful weekend in
Jeddah, he spun out in the sprint race and lacked pace in the feature race, ending without points. The Barbadian driver bounced back in
Melbourne by qualifying fifth, and ended all the races in the same position. Despite securing ninth in
Baku qualifying, he would have a forgettable weekend, colliding with
Victor Martins at the start in the sprint and a lack of pace in the feature race meant he would come away without points. In
Monaco, Maloney qualified in fifth, and ended the sprint race in the same position. A crash for
Jack Doohan and a late drive-through penalty for Martins ahead would see him third and collecting a second podium. He then went two rounds without scoring points. Maloney then qualified fourth in
Silverstone, but received two separate three-place grid penalties for the sprint due to impeding. In the feature race, he remained out of trouble and made his way to second place, securing his best result up to that point. In the

Jak Crawford for the lead on lap 8. He would then proceed to pull ahead and take his maiden F2 win. In the feature race, Maloney took the lead into the first corner after polesitter
Gabriel Bortoleto and
Isack Hadjar collided. From there, Maloney controlled proceedings and was able to win his second consecutive race, making him the first driver since
Oliver Bearman to win both races on the same weekend. A poor qualifying in
Jeddah followed with 16th, but stunned in an impressive recovery drive to fourth place in the sprint race. He improved in the feature race, as he finished in seventh place. He qualified fifth in
Melbourne, but endured a scrappy sprint race, a costly mistake into the gravel mid-race dropped him out of the points; he eventually placed tenth. A clean feature race followed the next day, as Maloney powered through to third place. At that point, Maloney led the standings by 14 points, praising his mindset change a reason for his improved form. Maloney secured another third-placed podium during the
Imola sprint race, where he passed
Amaury Cordeel for third with three laps to go. He had a forgettable feature race, as he was stuck behind
Roman Staněk following the pit stops, causing Maloney to eventually finish in 11th place. A bruising weekend followed in
Monaco, he retired in the sprint after contact with
Zak O'Sullivan caused Maloney to spin, whereas in the feature race, he clashed with
Joshua Dürksen in the dying laps but was lucky to rescue a point. Despite starting 17th for the
Barcelona feature race, Maloney made his way up the order, eventually crossing the line seventh at the chequered flag. His first non-scoring round came next in
Austria, where Maloney qualified down in 20th and retired from the feature race with an engine issue on lap 7. However, Maloney managed to turn his fortunes around in
Silverstone, as he returned to the podium in second place in mixed conditions during the sprint race. The next day, from ninth, Maloney fought for the win with
Isack Hadjar after the pit stops, where he would secure back-to-back second places. Maloney had another weekend of missed opportunities in
Hungary; he stalled from third on the formation of the sprint race while his feature race was curtailed early after being hit from
Paul Aron behind. He had a clean weekend in
Spa-Francorchamps, securing fourth and sixth place in the races. In
Monza, Maloney took his maiden F2 pole position. He had a strong fightback in the sprint, passing former teammate
Enzo Fittipaldi on the last lap for fifth place. An unlucky safety car timing during the feature race saw
Gabriel Bortoleto jump him in the pit stops, and Maloney was forced to cope with second place again, but still moved back into the top 3 of the standings. Despite qualifying fourth
Baku, Maloney had another unfortunate weekend, being pushed down to tenth during battles in the sprint, while chances of big points faded as Maloney spun after making contact with
Andrea Kimi Antonelli on his outlap. During the
Qatar round, Maloney signed off Formula 2 with sixth and ninth place, despite the latter feature race being compromised by a spin. Maloney would not contest the
Abu Dhabi season finale after signing as a
Formula E driver for
ABT Yamaha Lola, and was replaced by
2024 FIA Formula 3 champion
