How this is measured

Only races where the runner-up finished on the same lap are included, so genuinely crushing wins that lapped the field are not represented.

Only races where the winner and the runner-up completed the same number of laps are counted. A lapped runner-up has no comparable time gap.
The 1950–1960 Indianapolis 500 rounds counted towards the world championship but were run to American rules with roughly 33-car grids and almost no overlap in entrants. They are excluded from every leaderboard on this site.
