Career
Stevens began racing in 2003 at the age of 12 in karts. He joined Rotax Mini Max after one year of racing in the National Cadet Championship. He competed in a variety of championships in the United Kingdom and abroad, and after placing 7th in the Rotax class in Super One, he joined Formula Renault 2.0.
He finished seventh in the 2009 Formula Renault 2.0 UK and fourth in 2010. In 2011, he moved to Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup, where he finished 4th in the top 40 European championship.
Stevens made the leap to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2012, finishing 12th in his first year. He earned five podiums in 17 races and finished fourth in the season rankings in 2013. In 2014, the driver earned two victories and four podiums to finish fifth in points.
Stevens had joined the team as a reserve driver for the remainder of the 2014 season, according to a tweeter in October 2014. They had intended to use him in the first session of the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, but they were unable to provide the necessary paperwork to the FIA Contract Recognition Board in time.
He made his Formula One debut with Caterham F1 at the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix the following month, having previously worked with the team. He finished the race in 17th place, just one lap down. He charged £500,000 for the privilege.
Manor Marussia revealed Stevens as one of their principals in February 2015, though not in bringing significant funds to the team, as well as Roberto Merhi. Marussia participated in the Australian Grand Prix but was unable to participate due to a technical glitch. Stevens rode the Marussia car for the first time in Practice 1. However, he did not participate in qualifying or the event because of a fuel shortage. Stevens finished his first race for Marussia in 15th place, ahead of his teammate Merhi after being lapped twice by race winner Lewis Hamilton. In Bahrain and Spain, Stevens finished ahead of Merhi. In the Monaco Grand Prix in 16th, he came in second, behind Merhi. He qualified second in the Canadian Grand Prix, behind Merhi but he ended up to 17th place due to penalties to Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel, and Max Verstappen. Romain Grosjean of Lotus was lap 52, lapping Stevens but left his left rear tyre when doing so, prompting both drivers to call an emergency pit stop. Both Lotus and Marussia's mechanics had no time to react to their drivers' pitting, so they didn't have to worry about long pit stops. On the radio, Stevens told his staff that the incident had happened. Grosjean received a 5-second penalty for the accident, but Stevens had been running 4 seconds behind Merhi to a minute behind him. However, Merhi was forced to abandon on lap 56 due to a drive-shaft issue. Stevens eventually finished in 17th place, four laps behind on race winner Lewis Hamilton. Grosjean apologised to Stevens for the crash after the race. Merhi was introduced by Alexander Rossi, who outpaced Stevens in 3 of 4 races in the later races of the season.
Manor Motorsport, a team formed by former Manor Racing mechanic John Booth and Graeme Lowdon, decided to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship in February 2016, with Stevens and former Manor F3 driver Tor Graves. Stevens will defer his WEC participation with a WRC career, according to René Rast, who is driving an Audi R8 LMS.
Stevens would co-drive the JMW 488 GTE-Am with two Le Mans 'rookies, nineteen-year-old Dries Vanthoor of Holland, and British driver Rob Smith, all in May 2017. The team's Ferrari 488 was fresh out of the box, making its race debut, and it was lightning quick in first free-practice; third-quickest in first free-practice. In First Qualifying (the eighth in GTE-Am, 3:56.890), the team concentrated on driver training, but they didn't give up in Second Qualifying, with Dr. Vanthoor leading the first to beat the old record (3:54.543). Will Stevens cut half a second off this by releasing a 3:53.981 to stake his claim to a provisional class pole. The team completed race-preparation of the all-new car in third and final qualifying session, but a series of yellow flags held back personal change for the JMW drivers. In GTE-Am for the race, the car lined up 6th. Stevens was a student at the University of On the first day, he made the most progress in class by placing fourth in class. His co-drivers advanced, scoring third at 5:40 p.m. and then second three hours into the championship. The #84 JMW Ferrari took the GTE Amateur lead shortly after 10 p.m., and from there slowly built up an advantage that spanned two laps at the finish. Overall, the car made 333 laps and crossed the line 27th. Stevens set the fastest time for a JMW Ferrari of 3:54.461.
Stevens also placed second in the Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup in 2017 where he won his first GT3 victory at Zolder with teammate Markus Winkelhock. Stevens was disappointed in his first two races of the Blancpain Gt Series Endurance Cup, where he finished in every sport he competed in, but he was unable to qualify in the last two races of the European Le Man Series in an attempt to rank 1st in the GTE Series Team standings. Stevens led the team to finish second at Spa-Francorchamps and Algarve, boosting the team to 1st in the GTE standings.
Stevens joined the Panis-Barthez LMP2 team in March 2018 for the 2018 European Le Mans Series and to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Stevens has been with McLaren since 2018 as a test and design engineer primarily engaged in simulator design. Stevens will fly the McLaren MCL35 2021 vehicle at a private test held on the 11th and the 13th of July at Portimao circuit, according to McLaren's announcement on July 11, 2022.
