editFewtrell was born in Birmingham. At a young age, he moved to Malaysia first, then Singapore for 9 years. He also has an older brother, Sam, and a younger brother, Theo. Max began karting in 2009 at the age of ten after watching the Singapore Grand Prix. Fewtrell karted in Singapore but competed mainly in Malaysia.[2] He went on to take major karting titles in 2013 and 2014.[citation needed]

In December 2016, Fewtrell was named as part of Tech 1 Racing's driver line-up for the 2017 seasons of Formula Renault 2.0.[5] He won a race at the Red Bull Ring on his way to the rookies' title, and came sixth in the drivers' championship.[6][7]
The following year, Fewtrell switched to reigning team champions R-ace GP.[8] He achieved six poles and six wins, including a double victory across a two race weekend at Hockenheim, making him the first driver to do so since Nyck de Vries. Fewtrell claimed the championship title in the season finale after a season-long battle with fellow Renault junior Christian Lundgaard.[9][10]

editAfter winning the 2018 Formula Renault Eurocup, Fewtrell partook in the post-season test with ART Grand Prix.[11]
FIA Formula 3 Championship

He took part in Norris' Twitch Rivals Charity Tournament in 2021.[15]
He launched his own merchandise line called Fewtrell Fits in December 2020. The line has since been discontinued. [citation needed]
