Personally, I think the best race ever was the Canadian Grand Prix in 2011. Wet races always score highly in terms of excitement, but I think this one was particularly brilliant, and I actually think the two hour wait made the second half of the race even better. But best of all was Jenson Button winning after six pitstops, a drive-through, two collisions, and being in last place after half distance.

For me it was the European @ Donington in 92. I was lucky enough to be marshalling it, and for me it changed my opinion about Ayrton Senna, that really was a masterclass.

Yep, for me, this was the most memorable GP I've ever seen.

In my lifetime, Silverstone 08. At least in terms of the most mesmerising display. Although the title deciding Brazilian GP that season was perhaps the most dramatic nail biter I have experienced. Of all time? Tough one. 53 French GP, 57 French GP, 61 Monaco GP, 67 Italian GP, 79 French GP, 85 Portuguese GP, 93 European GP, 05 Japanese GP and the above mentioned British GP would be my candidates. And that’s before we add great title deciders. 64 Mexican GP, 76 Japanese GP, 86 Australian GP, 08 Brazil, 12 Brazil

Without thinking too hard I’ll plump for Adelaide 1986. Good racing, drama and the added bonus of a title on the line.

Probably the 1969 Italian GP, with 4 drivers contesting for the top spot right to the end, with Stewart just 8/100ths of a second in front of Rindt to take the flag first with the other two just behind.

Brazil 2008 is surely worthy of a mention. Poor old Massa seemingly had the title in his pocket until the last corner of the last lap of his home Grand Prix. Amazing race. It produced huge drama.

Donington 93 was a great first lap but Monaco 82 takes some beating for an exciting climax.

Italian GP 1971 - why would anyone think differently ? First five finishers placed just over half a second apart , winner 0.1 ahead of second place, a debut winner and one of the most charismatic circuits ever used. Unlike - Jesus- Bahrain ....

Most people will pick races that they saw in their lifetime I guess?

The old Monza years were great 1969 and 71 are legendary without question.

I would have to go with this one too. The lead pack for most of the race numbered 6 cars with the lead changing hands several times per lap. The winner, Peter Gethin, led over the line only on the last lap, I think, and never led for a whole lap.

Spa 98 for me. Awesome circuit in awful weather and lots of plots lines - first Jordan win, horrific first-lap pile-up, Jordan team orders and 'that' contra-temps with Schumacher and Coulthard.

1976 British GP, Brands Hatch. It pretty much had everything you could want in a race. A popular win, with the event itself steeped in controversy and drama, resulting in the subsequent disqualification of race winner, James Hunt. Prior to the British GP, Hunt had been recently reinstated as winner of the Spanish GP, after his initial disqualification from that race. You couldn't make it up.

1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix. The best race ever on the best circuit ever.

Or did I dream that?

I know Alboreto won, though. And it was his first win, which I assume was special.

I know the race has gone into legend , but it was unforgettable for some of the wrong reasons. I don't like mobs , but in the middle of the feverish crowd at Clearways baying for Hunt , it felt like being part of one, and the whole day, even at 8am , had felt a spit away from a riot. I guess the whole country had already gone slightly mad anyway in that baking summer .

I am maybe in the minority - I don't really care who wins , abhor the more xenophobic elements of fandom (Silverstone 92 ) and just want a good race.

Amen to that. Crowd invasions of anykind are disgraceful!

Silverstone was lucky not to lose the GP after that 'Mansell Mania'.
