Career

=Karting=

Matus first began karting in 2002, at the age of four. From 2007 onwards, he competed in major karting championships across Mexico and the United States.

=Lower Formulae=

In 2014, Matus made his debut in French F4, finishing twenty first in his debut season. He returned the following year, claimed his maiden victory and finished seventh overall. In October 2014, Matus was among four drivers invited to join the testing of the Ferrari Driver Academy.{{cite web|url=http://www.santander.com/csgs/Satellite/CFWCSancomQP01/en_GB/Corporate/Press-Room/Santander-News/2014/10/22/Santander-takes-four-talented-young-motorsport-drivers-to-the-Ferrari-Driver-Academy.html|title=Santander takes four talented young motorsport drivers to the Ferrari Driver Academy|date=22 October 2014|accessdate=25 January 2017}} But he wasn't included into it.

In 2015, Matus went on to become Formula Panam champion and the inaugural NACAM Formula 4 champion.

=Formula Renault=

In January 2017, Matus signed with AVF for the Eurocup Championship.{{cite web|url=http://mobile.twitter.com/AxelMatus1/status/824276725605339137/photo/1|title=Axel Matus - Twitter|date=25 January 2017|accessdate=25 January 2017}} He was just one from five drivers who wasn't able to secure a points-finishing position, ending the season 24th.
