Karting[]

Starting in Estonia at the age 8, Aron climbed the karting ladder as he was soon racing all over Europe but mostly in Italy. Aron won the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship in 2018.[2]

Lower formula[]

Aron raced in the 2019 ADAC Formula 4 Championship for Prema Powerteam, he finished seventh in the championship with two podiums both of which were wins in Austria and the Netherlands.[3] Aron's more successful campaign in 2019 came in the Italian F4 Championship, also racing for Prema, he took eight podiums and two wins, one of which also coming at the Red Bull Ring, with the other achieved at Mugello. Aron finished the year in third behind Red Bull junior driver Dennis Hauger and Brazilian FDA-member Gianluca Petecof. Thanks to nine rookie's victories Aron became the rookie champion.

Formula Renault Eurocup[]

After testing with them in the post-season test at Paul Ricard in November 2019, Aron was signed to ART Grand Prix's new Formula Renault Eurocup outfit for the 2020 season.[4][5] Despite scoring a second place at the Nürburgring, the Estonian was outscored by his more experienced teammates Grégoire Saucy and eventual champion Victor Martins and finished eleventh in the standings.

Formula Regional European Championship[]

In 2021 Aron moved back to Prema to partner David Vidales and Dino Beganovic in the Formula Regional European Championship.[6] The Estonian's first podium came at the opening round at Imola, where he finished second in race 2, being beaten only by previous year's teammate Saucy.[7] Aron was able to finish third at the following two rounds respectively, but would then go on a podium drought that lasted until the seventh round of the season, where he ended the first race at the Red Bull Ring in third place.[8] After a round in which he finished fourth and twelfth in Valencia, Aron claimed his first pole position of the season at the Mugello Circuit.[9]

FIA Formula 3 Championship[]
