British
Overview
Max Fewtrell is a British racing driver and former Renault Sport Academy member who competed in the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2019 and 2020. A junior single-seater title winner on his way up, his career stalled at F3 level and he stepped away from racing in 2020.
Junior career
Fewtrell began karting in 2009 at the age of ten, inspired after watching the Singapore Grand Prix, and competed mainly in Singapore and Malaysia before taking major karting honours in 2013 and 2014. Stepping into cars, he won the 2016 British F4 Championship, a result that earned him a place in the Renault Sport Academy. He then graduated to the Formula Renault Eurocup, taking the championship title in 2018.
Formula 3
On the back of his Eurocup crown, Fewtrell joined ART Grand Prix for his FIA Formula 3 debut in 2019, alongside Christian Lundgaard and David Beckmann. He scored two second-place podiums — in Austria and at the Hungaroring — and finished tenth in the standings with 57 points.
Retained by Renault, he switched to Hitech Grand Prix for the 2020 FIA F3 season. The campaign did not go to plan: Hitech and Fewtrell parted ways with three rounds still to run, in August 2020. He retired from racing shortly afterwards, ending a promising junior career that ultimately did not reach Formula 1.
