Why Carlos Reutemann ranks #47 in Formula 1
Carlos Reutemann ranks 47th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 991st of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 74.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 82, Longevity 72, Honours 70, Statistics 78. 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 1972–1982 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1981, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand prix wins 12, podiums 45, pole positions 6, race starts 146.
Immediately ahead sits Valtteri Bottas on 72.6, a gap of -1.9 points. Directly behind is Bruce McLaren on 73.9. 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.
