The FW16 was the 1994 season entry from the Williams team - the successor to the champion machine FW15C from the 1993 season. it was piloted by Aryton Senna - the best driver of the time.
The FW16 was equipped with the Renault V10 engine that the team had been using since 1989. However, due to the ban of electronic driver aids such as active suspension that was put into place midway during the 1993 season the FW16 was not able to perform properly with the engine. While designers Adrian Newey and Patrick Head designed the car to take advantage of aerodynamics, it in turn made the car extremely hard to handle, and even a seasoned driver such as Senna had problems driving the vehicle. 
While Senna qualified for pole position in the first two rounds of the season he would eventually retire from both race, with Michael Schumacher from the Benetton team winning those races instead.
With handling issues unsolved the FW16 would enter the third race of the season, the San Marino GP, on May 1st, 1994.
