It has to be Mansell for Silverstone for overtaking Piquet in '87(?) - his incredible qualifying in '91 and collecting Senna after the race.
Senna will always be associated with Imola
Graham Hill & Monaco

He didnt actually race in real life as he was behind the camera for the actual le mans racing shots, but he drove round there for the film. He did spa 12hrs a few weeks before i think but this is a general quiz and no one would know that.

I'm sure this quiz will end up in a bunch of arguments. For example, I'd put Ascari at Monaco, because he was famous for putting it in the harbour after getting it wrong exiting the tunnel.
