Thanks mate, yeah it was a bit easy for a Senna fan!! 
Continuing with the Monaco theme and a fairly easy one off the top of my head:
In todays' Monaco circuit layout, after driving along the harbour front and then negotiating the twisty 'Swimming Pool' series of corners, the drivers come to a right hander by the restaurant called 'Rascasse'. In the original circuit layout, circa 1950s-60s, the race would start along the harbour front on a gentle left hand curve leading into a hard right where 'Rascasse' is situated today. However, it wasn't called 'Rascasse' then and there was no restaurant. What was that first hard right corner after the start originally called?

Graham Hill because he won five times at Monaco and was the most successful driver there until me old mate Senna caught and overtook his tally of wins.

Yeah, but it was always referred to as 'Gasworks Hairpin' - can't say I've ever heard it called 'Le Gazometre' mon ami!!
Mais je suppose que si vous venez de France, alors vous auriez raison, mais vous n'avez pas, donc je voudrais la réponse en anglais s'il vous plaît!
