The '''Williams FW17''' is a [[Formula One]] racing car designed by [[Adrian Newey]], with which the [[Williams Grand Prix Engineering|Williams]] team competed in the [[1995 Formula One World Championship]]. It was driven by [[Damon Hill]], who was in his third year with the team, and [[David Coulthard]], who was in his first full season after a part-time role in {{F1|1994}}.
==Season performance==
With what was regarded as the best chassis and aerodynamics in the field combined with the best engine,<ref>{{cite book| editor-last =Henry| editor-first =Alan| editor-link =Alan Henry| title =[[AUTOCOURSE]] 1995-96| publisher =Hazleton Publishing| year =1995| isbn =1-874557-36-5| page =49}}</ref> the 1995 season was disappointing for the team, who were beaten to both titles by [[Michael Schumacher]] and [[Benetton Formula|Benetton]]. Although the FW17 was superior in qualifying trim, taking 12 [[pole position]]s, Schumacher was usually more competitive on race day. The Benetton team arguably made better strategy decisions during races and Schumacher was able to win nine races against Hill and Coulthard's combined total of five. This situation was not helped by both drivers making several unfortunate errors during the course of the season.
==History==
For qualifying at the [[1995 Portuguese Grand Prix|Portuguese
The team eventually finished second in the Constructors' Championship, with 112 points; both Williams and Benetton had their constructor's points deducted from the Brazilian Grand Prix (6 and 10 points respectively) following an appeal that saw both teams' fuel-related disqualifications overturned from race standings.
