With his ninth successive victory at the 2013 Brazilian Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel set a new record for the largest points lead in Formula 1 history, ending the season with a 155 point advantage.

I didnt get the 18.52.... I was off track there thinking it might have been something to do with the German GP being 18 laps.... then realised that for 1954 it had increased to 22 laps from 18 of 1953 which thwarted that avenue.
I didnt progress the 1954 element as the question was more focussed on Brazil 2013 and I was aware of Vettel's record Championship lead there.

OK a new question. Less contrived than some of my other questions.

Ludovico Scarfiotti, Jacques Villeneuve and Emmerson Fittipaldi all share something in common. What is it?
