What are the usual time margin between the winning and tailing driver

Question

In terms of seconds.

Answer 1

Its normally under 2 laps, if none of the back markers have problems.

So say an average lap is 82 seconds ( Hungary like times) at the end of 70 laps the gap between 1 st and last would be roughly 140 seconds, as even a Force India is less than 2 seonds a lap off the pace of a McLaren.

Gone are the days when cars were so slow they could be 6 laps behind or there have been cases where cars were so slow, they had not been classified as a finisher! I think this last happend ( with a driver having no mechanical difficulties) at the  French GP in 1995, Andrea Monterminis Pacific being 10 laps down
