In F1 (or other motorsports), how is a lap time counted?

Lap time is an essential component of motorsports and is used to measure the performance of a driver and their car. Lap time is the time taken to complete one lap, and is calculated as the time taken between two points on the track. It can be measured by sensors and timing systems that measure the speed of the car, the distance it has traveled, and the time it takes to complete the lap. Lap times are used to compare different drivers and cars, as well as to track progress over time. Lap times are also used to determine the winner of a race, as the driver with the fastest lap time is usually the winner.
