I may well be wrong on this, but I seem to remember* that being last in the
pit lane gives you the advantage that you don't have to use the pit limiter
after you have been fueled and tyred - even with the accelleration that an
F1 has, you don't hit the 80km (?) speed limit before the end of pit
restrictions.

*It was an interview with McLaren talking about their pit-lane meanderings
this year....the best I can find is this from autosport.com...
McLaren, whose motorhome remains at the bottom of the paddock, were
unconcerned about being at the bottom of the pitlane - especially because it
gave them an advantage in getting a clear exit from the pits after
refuelling stops.
"Technically, it's an advantage as far as we can see and where we are in the
pit lane doesn't affect the races," team boss Ron Dennis said in Bahrain.
"If there is an outcome, it will be positive not negative.
