William "Will" Stevens (born 28 June 1991 in Rochford, Essex, England, United Kingdom) is a British racing driver who drives for Manor-Ferrari in 2015, having driven for Caterham at the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix[1] and finished in 17th place,[2] previously serving as a test driver for Marussia.[3]
Stevens was due to make his Free Practice début at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, however, the paperwork was not filed on time and he was unable to drive the car.[3]
In February 2015, Stevens was confirmed as number 1 driver for the Manor F1 Team, who are attempting to make the grid in Melbourne after emerging from administration earlier in the year.[4] The team succeeded in making it to the grid by Malaysia and Stevens drove for Manor for the rest of the season.
At the 2015 Canadian Grand Prix, after being hit by Lotus's Romain Grosjean at the final corner of the race, he prompted his own and Manor's first and only team radio of the season.
On 16 February 2016, Will Stevens announced that he would not continue to drive for another season for Manor.[5]
According to McLaren Racing's website, Stevens has been their development driver since 2019.[6]
