Damon Hill's Williams - Renault FW18 - 1996
Damon Hill won the World Driver's Championship in 1996 in this Williams Renault FW18, following in the footsteps of his father, Graham. Damon won eight races and nine pole positions on the road to the championship.
Michael Schumacher's Ferrari F310 V-10 - 1996
1996 was the year Damon Hill snatched the World Championship title at the last race of the season in Suzuka, Japan. Although the Williams outclassed the Ferrari, Michael Schumacher managed four pole positions and three race wins in this 700 BHP Ferrari. He arguably drove his finest race in the torrential rain in the Spanish Grand Prix, which he won. The rain forced two-thirds of the field to retire.
Lotus 78 - The ground effect era
Colin Chapman of Lotus was responsible for many innovations in motorsport. From the Lotus 7 to this Lotus 78. The Lotus 78 was the first ever "ground effect" car, which literally sucked the car to the track. Gunnar Nilsson won the 1977 Belgian Grand Prix, and Ronnie Peterson won the 1978 South African Grand Prix in this car. The Lotus 79 that followed won Lotus the constructors and drivers championship at the hands of Mario Andretti.
