Which drivers have you watched win a Grand Prix live?

Trying to decide where to go this year, I was thinking about Grands Prix I have attended since I started following F1 and realised that I have never seen the same driver win more than once. And curiously, despite attending races during their dominant eras, I have never seen Schumacher nor Vettel win a race!

So here's my list of 7 drivers I have watched win at a live F1 event (without saying where):

Mika Hakkinen

Eddie Irvine

Giancarlo Fisichella   

Fernando Alonso

Jenson Button

Mark Webber

Lewis Hamilton

So, what's your list?

Edit: Don't just list all the grands prix you have been to, let people try and guess! e.g. Given Irvine + Fisichella above should be pretty easy to guess where I saw them...

Only attended 1 race which was the infamous French GP in 2003, so my list is consists of Ralf Schumacher and...............that's it!

Can people also post the Grand Prix and years of those races?

Mark Webber - Nurburgring 2009

Sebastian Vettel - Monaco 2011

Nico Rosberg - Silverstone 2012

Lewis Hamilton, Hungary, '07. And since they open the gates (or used to open the gates) for the crowd there after the flag, I was next to the pit wall for the podium.

Mark Webber - Nurburgring 2009

Sebastian Vettel - Monaco 2011

Nico Rosberg - Silverstone 2012

How did you Rosberg see winning when Mark Webber was on the top step 

Schumacher x2 (France 2002, 2004)

Alonso x1 (Spain 2013)

I saw Schumacher win twice in Magny-Cours: 2002 and 2004. In 2002 he claimed the title there and although it was good to witness, I was also disappointed that Räikkönen missed his first win after sliding on oil from McNish's Toyota. In 2004 the most striking memory was not him winning the race, but Barrichello passing Trulli in the last corner! And also sneaking into the pitlane for F3 and seeing rising stars LH and NR in their cars (Lewis was not very good then - Jamie Green was really impressive).

Last year I attended the Spanish Grand Prix and saw Alonso win in front of his home crowd. He really made an incredible start - makes me think it's already been one year since Ferrari won a race.

Lewis Hamilton, Hungary, '07. And since they open the gates (or used to open the gates) for the crowd there after the flag, I was next to the pit wall for the podium.

they still do, I've seen Button, and Hamilton twice from the starting grid in the last 3 years. when Webber won it was my first time, and didn't know anything about running in.

Schumacher 98 Silverstone, classic Schumacher victory rain + speed + controversy. Superb.

Hamilton Silverstone 2008

Webber 2012 Silverstone

Drivers I have seen win when attending a Grand Prix from memory are:

Alain Prost

Michael Schumacher

David Coulthard

Lewis Hamilton

Sebastian Vettel

Can people also post the Grand Prix and years of those races?

I thought it would be more fun if they didn't reveal which races... so people can try and guess

I'm guessing you're in Australia?

Yup! Well I was the time. I'm in the UK now so I've been visiting some different tracks.

Michael Schumacher (Monza 2003)

Fernando Alonso (Nürburgring 2007)

Kimi Räikkönen (Spa 2009)

Sebastian Vettel (Spa 2011)

Fernando Alonso (Hockenheim 2012)

Vettel's first - Monza 2008

Hamilton - Hungary 2009

Hamilton - Canada 2012

Hi Scheivlak (I think I know where you are from).

I thought I had seen Prost win at Zandvoort in 1983... went to my fathers house in Zandvoort (where he lived) together with my brother a couple of laps earlier, to beat the crowd (we were at... Scheivlak), and my father said: 'A fine mess Prost made of it.'

We said: 'Eh? He won the race.'

'No, he didn't.'

And then we say on tv, that night, Prost make the gaff of his life on track. (Although later, it turned out he had made a even bigger mistake, with a woman that happened to married to his teamboss...and then the teamboss walked in on them.)

I bet it would be Alesi's win.  All the fans stormed the track that day, even when other drivers were still on their last lap. 

F1:

Mika Hakkinen

Michael Schumacher

Felipe Massa

and also

Dario Franchitti (Indycar)

Matt Kenseth (Nascar)

Sebastien Loeb (WRC)
