. Well done . Lafitte broke his legs at Brands Hatch 86 also and Alliot drove the second Ligier. That was the end of Lafitte's F1 career. Who is the lady sitting at the table beside hirsute Mansell? clue ; her husband drove 1 race in Lotus T128/Renault

Drat, I'd forgotten about Jolly Jacques, probably because I was so chuffed to have remembered about Marc Surer! Whoops!

In my defence, I was only 11 in 1986.
