McLaren has added a British karting talent to its driver development pool.
McLaren is adding 11-year-old Harry Williams to its driver development program, making him the youngest-ever addition. Williams, a British karting prodigy, is even younger than Lewis Hamilton was when he joined McLaren’s junior roster at 13 back in 1998. Hamilton, now a seven-time world champion, debuted in F1 at 22 in 2007 and won his first world championship with McLaren a year later. Williams is looking forward to learning from McLaren’s team and is grateful for this exciting opportunity to progress in karting and single-seater racing. He has shown impressive skills in karting competitions nationally and internationally, aiming to follow in the footsteps of Hamilton and Lando Norris. McLaren’s chief business affairs officer is thrilled to have signed Williams to the program, aiming to build a consistent pipeline of talented drivers for various racing series for years to come.
