1995 for sure, only year he drove the #5

 

I wonder if its from testing as its well framed to be a promo shot?

 

ETA just thought too, Rothmans logos visible, so its not one of the countries that banned tobacco sponsorship

Well, the cockpit surround says 1996, and I'm pretty sure he was #5 that year, too - it's my favourite number ever since I saw The Marx Bros. in Casablanca  ;)

My thought, too. Isn't that the corner where he flipped two years before?

Definately the FW18, i.e. 1996 - his championship year when he also drove #5.

First thoughts where '96 and Estoril. Would have to research sponsors ect to determine if it was early season testing or at the GP, if its possible at all.

not saying definitely Spain but just narrowing the search.  Source link has many pictures of the car to possibly ID this (have not had a chance to look at the pictures in detail)...

It's the Curva VIP from Estoril. 1996 car.

Barcelona had light blue kerbs.
