[3] Until the final race of the season, it seemed that Morbidelli's point in Canada would not be added to, but a high rate of attrition led to the Italian taking his first podium finish.

[4] Papis was still generally quicker than Inoue, who is largely remembered mostly for his two incidents with official course cars more than his tardy driving.

His FA16 had suffered an engine failure, and Inoue's rush to get a fire extinguisher resulted in him straying into the path of the approaching car, which hit him hard enough to knock him over.

Just like the previous season, once again the FA16's livery was usually a white base colour with a unique combination of a red and blue pattern design.

Later in the season, the livery was slightly updated with a light and dark blue tone on the rear of the car to present the Hype Energy logo as well as additional pink graphics.
