Born on April 21, 1991, in Reigate, Great Britain, Maximilian Alexander Chilton began his racing career in karting at the age of ten. He quickly progressed, spending two years in cadet karting before advancing to junior TKM. Chilton demonstrated early potential by regularly appearing on the podium in J.I.C.A karting. At fourteen, he entered car racing, competing in the T Cars championship for drivers aged fourteen to seventeen. In his debut 2005 T Cars season, he finished eighth and subsequently secured third place in the Autumn Trophy. In 2006, he was the runner-up in the T Cars championship to Luciano Bacheta, winning seven races during the season. This early foundation established his capabilities in competitive motorsport.
Chilton’s career progressed through various racing series, marking significant milestones. In 2007, he made his British Formula 3 debut with Arena International, later moving to Hitech Racing in 2008 where he achieved two podium finishes and two pole positions. Joining Carlin Motorsport for the 2009 British Formula 3 season, he secured two wins and three pole positions, finishing fourth overall. Chilton then advanced to GP2 Series racing, competing from 2010 to 2012. His 2012 GP2 season with Carlin saw him achieve two race victories and two pole positions, culminating in an impressive fourth-place finish in the drivers’ championship.
His Formula One career began in 2013 with Marussia F1, where he notably completed every race of his rookie season, a unique achievement. He continued with Marussia in 2014, with his best results being two 13th place finishes in Australia and Bahrain. After his tenure in F1, Chilton transitioned to American open-wheel racing, joining Indy Lights in 2015 with Carlin, where he achieved a pole position and a race win, dedicating it to his former F1 teammate Jules Bianchi. From 2016 to 2021, he competed in the IndyCar Series, first with Chip Ganassi Racing, leading 50 laps and finishing fourth at the 2017 Indianapolis 500, and then with Carlin. He also competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2015 with Nissan Motorsports, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In February 2022, Chilton announced his retirement from IndyCar racing to focus on other ventures, including endurance racing, and currently holds the hillclimb record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, set in 2022 with the McMurtry Spéirling.
