Well it's definitely 1986, and it's a street circuit by the looks of things, so I'll go with Monaco?

I think the cars and drivers are right but the track isn't.

I'll give you a clue. This track used to comprise of public roads but it is now a permanent racing facility (as far as I know) and is still on the calander.

The first one is definitely 2006... Jarno Trulli (Toyota) and David Coulthard (Red Bull). Is it at Silverstone?

The second one seems to be 2004. Bus stop chicane at Spa? Juan Pablo Montoya (Williams) and Jarno Trulli (Renault).

Could it be Hockenheim or Indianapolis?

It seems to me as if they're on the start-finish, so I'm trying to think of circuits where there's an expansive grandstand area around the final corner....

Nope. There's one pretty huge giveaway in the photo that really narrows it down, and that's the only clue you get. :P
