The Williams FW16 was a Formula One car designed by Adrian Newey for the British Williams team, and it competed in the 1994 season, in which Williams won the Constructors' Championship and Damon Hill was runner-up in the Drivers' Championship. It is notable as the last car driven by three-time world champion Ayrton Senna before his fatal accident at the San Marino Grand Prix. It was designed around major rule changes that banned the electronic devices used by the front-running cars in the two preceding seasons, and it was a passive evolution of the FW15C with revised bodywork, an innovative rear suspension wishbone design and a fuel valve for mid-race refuelling. Power came from a 67-degree Renault Sport V10 in RS6 specification, delivering about 830 horsepower.
