Two rounds later, he would win again in Netherlands, both of aforementioned wins would be his only podiums. He continued to score consistently and ended seventh in the standings.
Aron's more successful campaign in 2019 came in the Italian F4 Championship, also racing for Prema. He again took his first win at the Austria, the fourth round of the season. His other win was achieved at the penultimate round in Mugello. Having scored six other podiums, Aron finished the year in third behind Red Bull junior driver Dennis Hauger and Brazilian FDA-member Gianluca Petecof. Thanks to nine rookie victories, Aron became the rookie champion.
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. Aron had a difficult campaign, his high point of the season being his only podium, 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.
In 2021, Aron moved back to Prema to partner David Vidales and Dino Beganovic in the Formula Regional European Championship. 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 Grégoire Saucy. 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, which included a non-points scoring round at Circuit Paul Ricard. He would end that streak by finishing third during the first race at the Red Bull Ring. 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. He would then swoop by to take his first win in the series. The next day was just as superior for him, again taking pole and ending a complete sweep with a win. He concluded his season in Monza with a second place. Aron finished the year third overall with 197 points, two wins and seven total podiums behind Saucy and Hadrien David.
