Former Formula 1 test driver Max Fewtrell has stepped away from the cockpit and turned his focus to the business side of motorsport, launching a partnership with Quadrant, a high‑performance automotive consultancy. In a candid interview with Formula 1.com, Fewtrell reflected on what racing has meant to him and how he is carving out a new identity beyond the track.
Fewtrell, who spent the 2022 season as a test driver for the Alpine F1 team, said that the decision to leave the sport was not made lightly. "I love racing, but I also love the idea of building something that can help other teams and drivers reach their full potential," he explained. The former driver’s move to Quadrant comes after a brief stint in the United Kingdom’s Formula 4 series, where he gained valuable experience in car development and data analysis.
Quadrant’s mission is to provide bespoke engineering and performance solutions to racing teams, and Fewtrell’s partnership will see him applying his on‑track insights to help clients optimise their vehicles. He added that working alongside his close friend and former teammate Lando Norris will keep him connected to the sport’s pulse. "Lando’s passion for racing is infectious," Fewtrell said. "Being part of Quadrant allows me to stay in the world I love while contributing in a different way.
For Indian fans, the move is a reminder that the world of Formula 1 extends far beyond the grandstands. As the sport continues to grow in India, with the upcoming 2026 season and the expansion of FanCode coverage, stories like Fewtrell’s highlight the diverse career paths available within motorsport. The partnership with Quadrant could also open doors for Indian teams and drivers seeking advanced performance analytics and engineering support.
