In 1995, David Coulthard competed with Williams alongside Damon Hill. He was optimistic for the season, saying: “I’d like to think I can win a Grand Prix this year.”
For Portugal, on the Estoril circuit, Williams introduced a revised version of their car, the Williams FW17B. Coulthard took pole position and led a majority of the race to take his first Formula One race victory in style.
He took the checkered flag ahead of the two title contenders: Michael Schumacher (Benetton) and his team-mate Damon Hill.
Coulthard finished the season third in the Drivers’ Championship, behind Schumacher and Hill, helping Williams secure second place in the Constructors’ Championship.
