Winning by more than one minute

Since refuelling stops divided GPs into two or three sprint sections
large margins of victory are rare. Lewis Hamilton's win at Silverstone
was only the second time in the 21st century.

GBR 2008   1'08.577    L Hamilton      N Heidfeld
GER 2003   1'05.459    JP Montoya      D Coulthard

There were seven instances in the 1990s:

AUS 1995   2 laps      D Hill          O Panis
GBR 1994   1'08.128    D Hill          J Alesi    [MS disq.]
Pac 1994   1'15.300    M Schumacher    G Berger
BRA 1994   1 lap       M Schumacher    D Hill
HUN 1993   1'11.915    D Hill          R Patrese
Eur 1993   1'23.199    A Senna         D Hill
RSA 1993   1'19.824    A Prost         A Senna

And ten in the 1980s:

AUS 1987   1'07.884    G Berger        M Alboreto   [Senna disq.]
GER 1987   1'39.591    N Piquet        S Johansson
AUT 1986   1 lap       A Prost         M Alboreto
GBR 1985   1 lap       A Prost         M Alboreto
RSM 1985   1 lap       E de Angelis    T Boutsen
POR 1985   1'02.978    A Senna         M Alboreto
RSA 1984   1'05.950    N Lauda         A Prost
GER 1983   1'10.652    R Arnoux        A de Cesaris
MON 1982   1 lap       R Patrese       D Pironi
MON 1980   1'13.629    C Reutemann     J Laffite

Only five in the 1970s:

JPN 1977   1'02.45     J Hunt          C Reutemann
JPN 1976   1 lap       M Andretti      P Depailler
GER 1975   1'37.7      C Reutemann     J Laffite
GBR 1975   1 lap       E Fittipaldi    C Pace
ESP 1970   1 lap       J Stewart       B McLaren

I haven't collected all the details yet, but the other two decades had
many instances:

1960s  29
1950s  31

Germany 1968 stands out - Jackie Stewart led Graham Hill home by more
than four minutes. Surprisingly there were several earlier races where
the margin was more than two minutes (but not over one lap):

BEL 1963  4'54   J Clark       B McLaren
ITA 1960  2'27   P Hill        R Ginther
POR 1958  5'13   S Moss        M Hawthorn
GER 1958  3'29   A Brooks      R Salvadori
Pes 1957  3'14   S Moss        JM Fangio
Ind 1955  2'44   B Sweikert    T Bettenhausen    [Indy 500]
BEL 1953  2'48   A Ascari      L Villoresi
Ind 1953  3'32   B Vukovich    A Cross           [Indy 500]
Ind 1952  4'03   T Ruttman     J Rathmann        [Indy 500]
SUI 1952  2'37   P Taruffi     R Fischer
BEL 1951  2'51   G Farina      A Ascari
