The name of a former Worcestershire schoolboy has adorned a Formula One car for the final race of the season.
Daniel Cracknell's name has been printed on the car of Alex Albon for this weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
This comes after the former Prince Henry's pupil died in a motorbike crash.
Paying tribute, a spokesperson for Williams Racing said: "Ahead of our final race of 2022, we remember our friend and colleague Dan Cracknell who sadly passed away – our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues."
Daniel attended Prince Henry's in Evesham between 2015 and 2020 before securing an apprenticeship with Williams in their prototype and test department.
Alongside the tribute on Albon's car, the team's staff will be wearing black armbands while the flag at their HQ has been flown at half-mast.

Albon will be trying to honour Daniel on the track, as he starts the race from 19th on the grid.
His teammate Nicholas Latifi, competing in his final race for Williams, starts one place behind him.
Speaking ahead of the weekend, Albon said: “It’s the last race of the season so we’ll see how we go this week, obviously wanting to end on a high note and give some motivation to everyone during the winter season.
“This track should suit us more than the last two races and with it being Nicky’s last race with the team, hopefully we can all put on a good race for him.”
Latifi added: “I'm coming into my final race weekend with the team and in Formula 1 so I'm looking to enjoy it as much as I can.
“It's sad to be at the last race but it's been a great three years at Williams with a lot of ups and downs. Hopefully I can end the season on as high a note as possible.”

Earlier this week, Daniel's former school released a tribute to him, written by headteacher Dr Tony Evans and assistant headteacher and head of sixth form Clare Webb.
It read: "We were extremely shocked and saddened to learn of the death of a former student, Daniel Cracknell, following a motorbike accident.
"One of our senior prefects during 2019-20, Dan played a full and active part in school life, including supporting other students as a maths buddy and being an enthusiastic member of the Vex Robotics group.
"Mrs Cox, who was his form tutor in Years 12 and 13, remembers someone with a tremendous sense of humour who always enjoyed getting involved in group activities during tutor time.
"His subject teachers commented upon what a hard-working, excellent and talented student he was.
"In short, Dan was a wonderful student who made a great contribution to school life and exemplified all of the values that are so important to us at Prince Henry’s.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Daniel’s family at this incredibly sad and difficult time."
