Andy77 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
To me, even Assen lost its iconic status when it was shortened and partly changed in 2006. Something that makes a circuit iconic to me is the fact that its layout remained more or less unchanged through times. A couple examples have been called above already with Monza, Suzuka, Brands Hatch.

I am afraid I don't count Mugello as an iconic circuit either because it only has an ongoing slot in the schedule since 1991. Before it was an alternating venue with a race every couple years only.

To me there are just some contenders that might become an iconic circuit to the series in time but I don't see an iconic circuit yet
