Designed by Patrick Head and Adrian Newey and powered by a Renault 3 litre V10 engine.
The FW18 drew heavily on the previous seasons FW17 but featured new driver protection as regulated by the FIA for the new season. The drivers sat lower in the cockpit, which lowered the car's centre of gravity, thus aiding the handling with improvedl aerodynamics from Adrian Newey.
The 1996 driver line up was Damon Hill who had help develope the car and Canadian new boy Jaques Villeneuve.
The FW18 proved to be very successful during the season, as the car won twelve of the sixteen races and won the Constructors' Championship for Williams by a comfortable margin. Hill and Villeneuve fought a good natured but close title fight between them, which was decided in the Englishman's favour at the final round in Japan
