He is an Italian Formula 1 racing car and he is the superstar of Silver Hatch racetrack. He is the fastest car on the track and except nothing less than the best oil, fuel and treatment. He gets very upset if Big Chris makes him go out in the rain because it ruins his paintwork and tyres. When starting a race, Maxi can make flames erupt from his exhausts. There is a healthy sibling rivalry between Maxi and Roary. He is based on the Ferrari F2003 GA.
He is voiced by Marc Silk, who also voices Drifter, Flash, Dinkie, Hellie and Nick in the same series, as well as Bumble, Slugsy and Diggly in Fifi and the Flowertots and Bob in the US dub of Bob the Builder since 2007.

In the episode "Blue Light Job" he crashed into a pair of tyres.
