Carlos Sainz's Austrian Grand Prix came to a painful end as he was forced to retire from the race.
Williams has endured a tough weekend in Spielberg and has not been a contender for the top 10 all weekend.
However, its chances of a strong result shrank further when Sainz's car suffered a dramatic shutdown as he exited the final corner.
It forced the Spaniard to pull to the side of the track, with race control then calling a virtual safety car to clear the stricken FW48.
Williams has communicated that the cause of the retirement was a suspected electrical issue.
It is the first non-finish of the season for Sainz, who is hopeful that Williams' upgrades planned for next week at Silverstone will lift it forward.
