Maksim "Max" Sergeyevich Snegirev (; born 12 June 1987) is a Russian professional racing driver currently residing in London.

Formula Palmer Audi

Snegirev launched his motorsport journey in an unconventional manner, entering Formula Palmer Audi in 2007 without prior karting experience. That season, he secured 19th place overall, achieving points in fourteen races but retiring from six. The following year, 2008, saw him climb to 11th in the standings, completing every event and attaining a highest finish of sixth at Donington.

In 2009, he made a brief return for the final round at Snetterton, earning five points in one race despite recording two DNFs. He competed again in 2010 during the last two events at Croft and Silverstone, claiming a victory at Croft and adding two podium finishes at Silverstone.

Formula Renault

Snegirev took part in the 2008 Formula Renault 2.0 UK Winter Cup held at Rockingham Motor Speedway with Falcon Motorsport. Additionally, he contested two races in the main 2009 Formula Renault UK season representing Tempus Sport.

Formula Three

His debut in the National Class of the British Formula 3 Championship came in 2009 with Team West-Tec, where he finished fourth overall despite missing two rounds. In 2010, he progressed to the Championship Class driving for Fortec Motorsport. Although engaged in Formula Two commitments, he returned to British F3 in 2011, competing at circuits including Brands Hatch, Donington Park, and Silverstone Circuit.

Formula Two

Snegirev participated in the Formula Two series during 2011, scoring points in three out of sixteen races and concluding the season ranked eighteenth. After missing the opening round of the 2012 campaign due to obligations in Auto GP, he resumed competing in Formula Two for the remainder of that year.

Auto GP

In 2012, Snegirev advanced to the Auto GP World Series, joining the Campos Racing team.

Current career

Since 2015, Snegirev has been employed as a recruitment consultant focusing on roles within the Automotive and Motorsport sectors.
