Why Alberto Ascari ranks #16 in Formula 1
Alberto Ascari ranks 16th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 827th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 94, Longevity 70, Honours 84, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Formula 1 reference universe of 146 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1947–1955 with 6 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1952, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles 2, grand prix wins 13, pole positions 14, podiums 17.
Immediately ahead sits Emerson Fittipaldi on 81.9, a gap of -2.9 points. Directly behind is Nigel Mansell on 81.7. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
