For 2007, Molina moved up to the World Series full time with Pons Racing, scoring two race wins (at Estoril and Barcelona) and two further podium places on his way to 7th in the final standings. In 2008 he once again competed in the championship, teaming up with fellow Spanish driver Álvaro Barba at Prema Powerteam.[1] He claimed four podiums during the season, including two race wins at Nürburgring and Estoril, to finish 4th in the championship.
