actually it is. the last driver on the lead lap can take 10 minutes to complete the last lap at a circuit where the lap time is 1'30 and will still be classified higher that the driver a lap down

Which is exactly what happened at Porto in 1958. Lewis Evans in 3rd place had been lapped so Hawthorn's last lap spin etc did not cost him a place.

The exception is where the race regulations placed a limit on the time to complete the final lap.

Thanks.

Still on the subject of 1958. It is often said that Moss lost the Championship to Hawthorn in Portugal by:
(a) Misreading a pit signal "HAW REC" (record) as "HAW REG" (regular) and missed the extra point for fastest lap
(b) By supporting Hawthorn's appeal against being disqualified for bump-starting his car in the direction opposite to the race traffic

But, at what other race could it be argued that an action by Moss lost him points and the Championship?

Over-revving his car at the start of the Belgian GP, leading to a first lap retirement?

Spot on - exactly what I was looking for.

A rare case of driver error on the part of Stirling Moss.

Your question.

Your question.

Wasn't that also down to the flag marshall holding the cars on the start line (on a downhill slope)for an extended amount of time, and hence why the race only went for 24 laps instead of 36?

OK, name the chief designers whose creations won races for more than one team in the 1980's....
