Has there ever been an F1 photo finish?

Winners in F1 are always clearly in front of the rest by the time they approach the chequered flag and then go over the line. Was just wondering if anyone can recall if there's ever been a race where a 2nd place driver has begun an overtake approaching the finish line on the final lap, comes alongside the first place driver and they've both gone over the line at the same time, causing stewards to study the finish like in horse racing before deciding who won. Probably not though.
 
So I'm now wondering what circuits on this years F1 calendar have start/finish lines wide enough that could potentially create another photo or near photo finish. The next one, Sepang in Malaysia has two wide final stretches, all the way from turn 14 to 15 and then 15 to the finish line, so that's a possibility.
