Honda Announce Long Term Support Of Karter Will Stevens

The Honda Racing F1 Team has announced that it has signed 16 year old British karter Will Stevens under a long-term driver support agreement, similar to the one Mclaren gave to Lewis Hamilton.

Will Said “I am extremely proud to be joining the Honda Racing F1 Team and this provides me with a great opportunity to progress my career towards my goal of reaching Formula One. I would like to thank everyone who has helped me so far in my career and especially Honda for their commitment and support of my future. I intend to do my very best to ensure that their belief in me is rewarded.”

Ron Meadows, Sporting Director for the Honda Racing Formula 1 racing team said, “We are delighted to welcome Will to the Honda Racing F1 Team. Will has had a very promising career in karting to date and we very much look forward to assisting his advancement through the ranks of the junior formulae towards achieving his ultimate ambition to race in Formula One”.

This is not the first young driver to be taken under the wing of a Formula 1 racing team and we are sure it will not be the last. Will Stevens is an accomplished young driver who has already had a great deal of success in the karting world and we are sure he will continue to progress through the driving ranks with Hondas support and backing.
