As far as i understand it has everything to do with lapping. When winner passes the finishing lap then the race is effectively over, in so far as you complete the lap you are on. If you are a lap behind then you can never make it up, or else you'd have some teams carrying on ages after it had been won in order to make up places (although that matter less under the new quali rules).
That picture of Sato's steering wheel is classic.
