2018

León returned for the opening round of the 2018-19 NACAM F4 season, which supported the 2018 Mexican Grand Prix. He once again finished on the podium in race one, and was fourth in race two.

2020

2021

In 2021, León progressed into the F4 United States Championship with DEForce Racing, partnering fellow countryman José Andrés Martínez. Whilst he only scored two wins at Road America and Mid-Ohio across the year, the Mexican managed to move his way to the lead of the standings with a string of consistent podium finishes, culminating in a double podium at the Circuit of the Americas in a round supporting the 2021 United States Grand Prix, where León clinched the championship.

Formula Regional European Championship

León made his first step into European single-seaters in 2022, racing in the Formula Regional European Championship with Arden Motorsport. He wouldn't score points at the opening two rounds in Monza and Imola, however this would change at Monaco, where he managed to obtain tenth place in the first race and ninth place in the second, scoring his first points. However, these were the only points he scored during a difficult season, and he finished 23rd in the standings.

Euroformula Open

His first success was in the Imola sprint race, which he initially won, although he was demoted to third after a post-race penalty. In the Silverstone sprint race, he finished second, behind Arvid Lindblad. With two more podiums during the season, he finished 10th in the overall standings.
Post-season, León returned to the Macau Grand Prix. He ran in third throughout the race, holding off a last lap attack from Freddie Slater to finish on the podium.

2025

León switched to reigning champions Prema Racing for the 2025 FIA Formula 3 Championship, partnering McLaren juniors Ugo Ugochukwu and Brando Badoer.

León was promoted to Formula 2 for, joining Campos Racing alongside Red Bull junior Nikola Tsolov.
