## Career
### Karting

Powell began competing in the karting championships at the age of 8. After completing various championships in the USA and securing great results, he moved to Europe and started racing in Italy in the 60 Mini class. He has won the WSK Final Cup, South Garda Winter Cup, Trofeo Andrea Margutti and Champions of the Future. He achieved the 2022 CIK-FIA Karting European Championship vice-champion in the OK category. A year, he ranked third in the same championship.

### Formula 4
#### 2023

In 2023 Powell made his debut in single-seaters, racing with Prema in the sixth round of the Italian F4 Championship at Mugello, but he did not manage to score any points. During the next round at Vallelunga Circuit, the season finale, he finished 10th in race three and ultimately ended up 24th in the standings. He also competed in the Formula 4 UAE Trophy round.

#### 2024

During pre-season, Powell also competed for the Mumbai Falcons in the 2024 Formula 4 UAE Championship. He achieved his first single-seater win at Dubai Autodrome during the second race. By standing on the podium three other times, Powell finished sixth in the championship.
Powell remained with Prema Racing to race in the Italian F4 for his first full single-seater season. He started the season with a triple runner-up finish in all races in Misano, before earning his first Italian F4 pole in Vallelunga. That weekend he would score two second places, but would not finish on the podium again until the season finale in Monza. Despite failing to win during the campaign, Powell finished fifth in the championship with 176 points and six podiums, as well as being crowned the rookie champion. Competing in Euro 4 as well with Prema, he earned a win during a messy first race in Monza, allowing him to place ninth in the standings.

#### 2025

During pre-season, Powell joined R-ace GP to contest in the 2025 F4 Middle East Championship. He finished the Middle Eastern Championship in second place with 283 points, 9 podiums and 5 wins.

### Formula One

In 2019, Powell was announced by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 Team as part of the Mercedes Junior Team.
