Harry Williams

McLaren has added a new name to its driver development programme, and he’s making history at just 11-years-old. 

Harry Williams becomes the youngest driver ever signed by the team, beginning his journey earlier than many of the sport’s biggest stars.

The young racer from Cheshire started karting in 2021 and has already built an impressive record, including winning the 2025 British Open and claiming an O Plate title in the Italian Waterswift Series. He also finished fifth in the European Waterswift Championship, catching the attention of one of Formula 1’s top teams.

Williams now joins a programme that helped shape careers like Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris, placing him on a path that could one day lead to the top level of motorsport.

KSAMC to formally recognise dancehall legend Bounty Killer with Key to the City of Kingston

Dancehall legend Bounty Killer is set to receive one of Kingston’s highest civic honours, as the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) moves to formally recognise his towering contribution to Jamaican music and community development.

The resolution, recently passed by the municipal body, will see the veteran deejay awarded the Key to the City of Kingston. At the same time, a road in his community of Seaview Gardens will also be renamed in his honour—a fitting tribute that recognises his legacy both in the cultural landscape and in the community that helped shape him.
