I see someone commented on the Sauber photo already so I agree.
Thank you! I agree totally with you about the cars. "My" era is definitely '85 to '95. I am lucky that Tamiya made so many great models of those cars. I built pretty much all of those 1:20 cars. More recently, I've been able to afford the 1:12 MP4/6, FW14B and 641. I've only made a start on the MP4/6 so far - thread here:

It's a real challenge, but an absolute labour of love. I'm really enjoying it!

By the way, here are some links to the video footage I found of the Silverstone tests where many of these images were taken. Bridge Bend....wow. Just thinking about standing between Abbey and Bridge back then makes the hairs on my neck stand up.
1990:

All good things come to an end...
Turn the volume up to 11 and enjoy!

Thanks so much...too good to be true. These are from my favourite era as well, seeing that RAM 03 was quite unbelievable.

No problem at all.
I’ve got a picture of the engine of the 03, but I’m trying to eliminate camera shake on it. I’ll persevere and get it the best I can, then add it to the post.
Cheers.
