The Williams FW18 was a Formula One car used by Williams to compete in the 1996 season, designed by Adrian Newey and Patrick Head and one of the most successful Formula One designs of all time. Driven by Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve, it won 12 of the 16 races, eight for Hill and four for Villeneuve, and Hill won the Drivers' Championship in it, becoming the first son of a World Champion to become a Champion himself. It scored 175 points. Powered by a 3.0 litre Renault V10, it drew heavily on the FW17 but added the new driver protection required by the FIA for that season.
