A super rare Ayrton Senna Williams will be put up for auction by @rmsothebys in New York next month. The 1994 FW16B – chassis number 01 – is one of only two FW16 cars from that season driven by three world champions - Senna, Damon Hill and Nigel Mansell. Chassis 01 was used by Senna and Hill in testing and in the warm-up at the 1994 Brazilian GP, before being brought into racing action later in the year. David Coulthard used it for his F1 debut. The car was given to the Senna family at the end of 1994 as part of an original deal in Senna’s contract to receive a chassis if the squad won the constructors’ championship. While under ownership of the Senna family from 1994 until 2024 it remained at the Williams factory before being acquired by a private owner on behalf of RM Sotheby’s, which is now offering it for sale. #F1 #senna
