Carter Williams is a driver coach for one of the best young driver programmes in Great Britain. It was the driver academy that brought through the likes of Billy Monger before his major incident in 2017. Now there is a young Welshman under their ranks named Matthew Rees and Carter tells us why he thinks Rees will be Britains next best prospect.
“I think he is someone that is just out of this world like this is first year outside of karting and the results he has been producing is just unreal”.
“Matthew has already won the title this season and there is still one race to go, we have seen many different championships this year go down to the final race and he’s already done it. He really is that different level you do not see around at all”.
Rees is currently only 15 and has proved himself sensationally at the lower level. Carter is not the only person that has noticed that so far is trajectory is something very similar to the likes of Lando Norris and Max Verstappen.
“A lot of people have started to make those comparisons of how fast Matthew is going through titles right now. As a coach as much as it is great to hear the comparisons about someone you are working with it really is all about getting ready for the next big event”.
“Of course it is possible for him to make huge steps forward, it is for most in this sport, it’ll come down to the training and the work he puts in. You know the greats are always spoken as if they were relentless, everyone knows you gotta be like that”.
“I have worked with a few people as a coach since I was a driver for JHR, as much as there has not been many there, I am pretty comfortable with saying he is the best I have seen since I was at that level, I know he has more than enough options for next season”.
Many at the top of the motorsport ranks are rumoured to have already got one eye on what Rees decides to do next, as what he chooses, could be the start of something simply amazing.
