Williams FW15C Renault

Active: 1993 - 1993 Team: Williams F1 Designers: Patrick Head, Adrian Newey Drivers: Damon Hill (0), Alain Prost (2)

The Williams FW15C was a Renault-powered Formula One car designed and built by Williams Grand Prix Engineering and raced by Alain Prost and Damon Hill during the 1993 Formula One season.

As the car that won both the drivers' and constructors' championships in the last season before the FIA banned electronic driver aids, the FW15C has a decent claim to be the most technologically sophisticated Formula One car of all time, incorporating anti-lock brakes, traction control and active suspension.
