    I do hope it's solvable without knowing the light reflections of individual pitlane surfaces . From the picture, I can take one or two hints, but it's going to be a tough cookie

    I do think it's solvable. There are a couple of different variables at play there to help us.

    I'll give it a shot:

    Which circuit is this pit lane??
    Interlagos, Brazil

    Which Year is the picture??
    2003

    Who won that race??
    Kimi R?ikk?nen

    What happened after the race finished??
    Under the Formula One regulations in place at the time, article 154 stated that, if 75% of the race distance had been completed (in this case 54 completed laps - 76% of race distance), it was "deemed to have finished when the leading car crossed the line at the end of the lap two laps prior to that [lap] during which the signal to stop was given". Thus the stewards, believing that Fisichella was on his 55th lap (and had therefore completed the 54 laps required for a full result), awarded the victory to the race leader at the end of the 53rd lap, namely R?ikk?nen.

    Several days later, though, after the chaos of the tumultuous grand prix had died down, the official scoring evidence showed that Fisichella had just started his 56th lap before the red flag signal was given; this meant that the race results should have been determined as of the end of the 54th lap, not the end of the 53rd lap. And since Fisichella was leading after 54 laps, he was belatedly named the race winner.
