Generally speaking, it was impossible to see a car with the naked eye at Silverstone. However, with the assistance of the world's best astronomical optics, I was occasionally able to pluck an image out of the infinitesimally small strip separating the cold, grey sky from the wooden fence posts and metal railings.

| Satoru Nakajima in the pioneering raised-nose Tyrrell 019. This image was obtained with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. |
 |
| Alessandro Nannini in the Benetton. This shot was taken with the 100-inch reflector on Mount Wilson. |
 |
| Nigel Mansell, lighting up the front brake discs as he prepares for the turn-in to Copse. Nigel set the fastest lap on the day I attended the test; a mid-season pattern of performance which led Ferrari to reward Nigel by handing his chassis over to Prost. |
 |
| Ayrton Senna in characteristic pose, head dipped forward and tilted towards the rapidly approaching apex of Copse corner . |
