Carlin Motorsport, which was founded by Trevor Carlin and Martin Stone in 1996, was reborn in 2009 as Carlin, part of the Capsicum Motorsport Group headed up by Grahame Chilton, Max's father. He co-owned the insurance company Benfield Group until 2008, when it was taken over by insurance giant Aon plc for £738m.
Team sponsors Gallagher, first appeared as the primary sponsor for Chilton's car, when he was with Ganassi in 2016. I presume Grahame Chilton got them on board, through his connections in the insurance business.
