Early life
Chilton was born in Redhill and grew up in Reigate. His father, Grahame Chilton, is a businessman who co-owned the insurance company Benfield Group{{cite web|url=http://www.benfieldgroup.com/About+us/group+profile+and+history/index.htm|title=Benfield : Group Profile and History|date=24 August 2006|access-date=4 November 2017|url-status=bot: unknown|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060824214514/http://www.benfieldgroup.com/About+us/group+profile+and+history/index.htm|archive-date=24 August 2006|df=dmy-all}} until 2008, when it was taken over by Aon plc for £738m. Chilton became vice-chairman of Aon after the deal and also collected around £77m for his stake.{{cite web|url=http://www.surreylife.co.uk/people/surrey-s-richest-50-2011-1-1645579|title=Surrey's Richest 50 2011|website=surreylife.co.uk|access-date=4 November 2017|archive-date=15 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180915225957/https://www.surreylife.co.uk/people/surrey-s-richest-50-2011-1-1645579|url-status=dead}} Max Chilton was educated at Ardingly College from 2000 to 2008. His brother, Tom Chilton, is also a racing driver.
Career
=Karting=
Chilton started his racing career at the age of 10 in karts where he spent 2 years learning the ropes in cadet karting before stepping up to junior TKM. He started to make a name for himself with J.I.C.A, where he made regular appearances on the podium, before turning his attention to car racing at the age of 14. Throughout this period Chilton was racing in the Super 1 National Kart Championships.
=T Cars=
He dovetailed his 2005 karting season with a season in the T Cars championship, for drivers between fourteen and seventeen years of age. He finished eighth in his first season, before going on to finish third in the Autumn Trophy. He continued in T Cars in 2006, where he finished as runner-up to Luciano Bacheta by three points. He won seven races to Bacheta's six.
=Formula Three=

Chilton made his debut at the second round of the 2007 British Formula 3 season for Arena International, despite being below the required age of 16 to take part in the season opener having sought special dispensation on the eve of his 16th birthday. His best result was eleventh, in Bucharest and at Brands Hatch. He made one appearance in the Star Mazda Championship, at Laguna Seca – because he was a guest driver, Chilton was ineligible for points. He drove in the 2007 1000km of Silverstone for Arena with his brother Tom, and they finished sixth overall, eight laps down on the winning Peugeot 908 HDi FAP of Nicolas Minassian and Marc Gené.
For 2008 Chilton moved to David Hayle's Hitech Racing, and improved to tenth place in the championship. He recorded pole positions at Monza and Rockingham, and scored two podiums – second in the opening race at Oulton Park and third at Rockingham. He moved to Carlin Motorsport for the 2009 season, taking three pole positions in the first four races. He won twice during the season, the first at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão, and the second in his final Formula Three race at Brands Hatch.
=GP2 Series=

Chilton graduated to the GP2 Asia Series for the 2009–10 season, driving for Barwa Addax.{{cite magazine | date = 24 September 2009 | title = Chilton for GP2 Asia |magazine= Autosport | volume = 197 | issue = 13 |page=27 | quote = British F3 race winner Max Chilton will graduate to GP2 Asia this winter.

In 2011 Chilton joined his father's Carlin team for the outfit's first foray into GP2, having previously driven for them in Formula Three. Partnered variously by reigning Formula Renault 3.5 Series champion Mikhail Aleshin and Álvaro Parente, he finished 22nd in the Asia series and 20th in the main series. He remained with the team, now with backing from the Marussia Formula One team, for the 2012 season alongside Rio Haryanto. He secured his first series podium finish in the feature race of the first round of the championship in Malaysia, and later his first pole position and race victory in the Hungarian feature race.{{cite news|last=Bradley|first=Charles|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/101591|title=Chilton fends off Valsecchi to claim maiden GP2 victory at the Hungaroring|date=28 July 2012|work=autosport.com|publisher=Haymarket Publications|access-date=30 July 2012}} This improvement in form, together with consistent points-scoring finishes throughout the season, resulted in Chilton rising to fourth place in the drivers' championship.

Chilton was appointed Marussia F1's testing and reserve driver for the second half of the 2012 season, starting from the Japanese Grand Prix.{{cite news|url=http://www.marussiaf1team.com/news/663/ |title=Standing By |date=20 September 2012 |work=MarussiaF1Team.com |publisher=Marussia F1 |access-date=20 September 2012 |quote=We are very happy to announce that rising star, Max Chilton, has been elevated from our Young Driver Programme to the position of Formula 1 Reserve Driver with effect from the 2012 Japanese Grand Prix next month and for the rest of the current F1 season. |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121007034118/http://www.marussiaf1team.com/news/663/ |archive-date=7 October 2012 }} Chilton competed in the first practice session at the 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in November for Marussia F1.
In December 2012, Nikolai Fomenko, the engineering director of Marussia F1, announced that Chilton would race for the team full-time in 2013.{{cite news|url=http://izvestia.ru/news/541456|script-title=ru:Николай Фоменко: "Марусе" нужно объединиться с Петровым|trans-title=Nikolay Fomenko: "Marussia" should unite with Petrov|date=16 December 2012|work=Izvestia|publisher=News Media|language=ru|access-date=16 December 2012|quote=– Кто будет партнером Глока после перехода Шарля Пика в "Катерхэм"? – Резервный пилот – Макс Чилтон.}} The team confirmed the next day that Chilton would race.{{cite news|title=To the Max – Max Chilton will make his Formula 1 racing debut with us in 2013 |url=http://www.marussiaf1team.com/news/702/ |work=marussiaf1.com |publisher=Marussia F1 |date=18 December 2012 |access-date=18 December 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121231232951/http://www.marussiaf1team.com/news/702/ |archive-date=31 December 2012 }} Chilton qualified 20th on his debut at the Australian GP. He achieved his best finish of the season at the 2013 Monaco Grand Prix, when he finished in 14th place following several retirements. He achieved his best qualifying result of 16th position at the 2013 Belgian Grand Prix in a mixed-weather session where he was one of three drivers to go out on slick tyres at the end when the track's condition was improving.
Chilton is the only driver to have finished every race of his rookie season.{{cite news|url=http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/9040886/rookie-record-for-chilton|title=Rookie record for Chilton|work=Sky Sports|date=22 November 2013|access-date=9 April 2014}}

On 11 January it was announced that Marussia F1 would be retaining Chilton for the {{F1|2014}} season.{{cite web|url=http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/305212/marussia-confirms-chilton-for-2014/|title=Marussia confirms Chilton for 2014 - GPUpdate.net|publisher=gpupdate.net|access-date=28 May 2014}} Chilton achieved his best finish to date at the {{F1 GP|2014|Australian}}, finishing 13th. He finished 13th again at the {{F1 GP|2014|Bahrain}}.
Chilton had finished every Formula One race he had contested until the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix, which meant that he had finished 25 consecutive races, 19 of them in his rookie season. This was a record for most classified finishes in a rookie season. Lewis Hamilton holds the record for most consecutive classified finishes at 48. Chilton's Canadian Grand Prix retirement came when he collided with his teammate Jules Bianchi on the first lap, sending the Frenchman into the wall at Turn 4. Chilton received a three-place grid penalty at the following race.{{cite web|url=http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2014/6/15935.html |title=Pérez, Chilton penalised for Montreal collisions |date=8 June 2014 |publisher=F1.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140610021209/http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2014/6/15935.html |archive-date=10 June 2014 }} His season ended after Marussia went into administration and then closed down, resulting in Chilton missing the last three races of the season and having no seat for 2015.
