On 4 November 2019, Caldwell announced he will be racing for the Trident team at the 2019 Macau Grand Prix.[5] Caldwell qualified 17th, 1.6 seconds behind pole-sitter Jüri Vips with a time of 2:06.641. In the qualifying race Caldwell got caught up in an incident at the start where Sargeant braked later than other drivers and his front wing glanced Maini's rear-right wheel. Maini was sent into a spin and rested against a trackside wall in a way that caused his vehicle to protrude at the exit of Lisboa turn, Caldwell ended up stationary briefly meaning he lost position. In the end he finished in 23rd meaning he started the race near the back. At the start of the race Caldwell made contact with Andreas Estner and on the fourth lap, Caldwell retired from the consequences of the earlier collision that damaged his front wing and a tyre.

In January Caldwell was announced by Trident as one of their three drivers for the 2020 Formula 3 Season.[6] He scored 18 points and finished 16th in the drivers' standings, behind his more experienced teammates David Beckmann and Lirim Zendeli.

Caldwell was announced to be racing for Prema Racing in the 2021 season, partnering Arthur Leclerc and Dennis Hauger.
