After all the excitement of qualifying and the typical umming and arring of the stewards of the McLaren/Lewis fuel issues, the track lit up again with the sounds of some iconic historic F1 cars – here’s photos of the event…
If you’re up for it, try naming each of the cars and the year they are from, if you’re super clever, you’ll be able to say who drove it then too…



















These are all from my favourite era! I wish I’d been there to see this. Ok, I’ll have a go at naming them. From the top…
