The Williams FW38 was a Formula One racing car designed by Williams to compete in the 2016 season, driven by Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas. During qualifying for the 2016 European Grand Prix an FW38 driven by Bottas set the highest ever recorded speed of a Formula One car during an official session, at 378 km/h, and at the Mexican Grand Prix Bottas set the second highest speed recorded during a race, at 372.5 km/h. The car was competitive in the early stages of the championship, but a lack of upgrades meant the team could not keep up later and lost fourth place in the constructors' championship to Force India. Williams also tested a radical rear wing with side winglets, driven by Alex Lynn, and kept its Martini livery for a third year.
