Why Clay Regazzoni ranks #36 in Formula 1
Clay Regazzoni ranks 36th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 961st of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 86, Longevity 76, Honours 70, Statistics 80. 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 1970–1980 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1974, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand prix wins 5, podiums 28, pole positions 5, championship runner-up finishes 1.
Immediately ahead sits Jacques Laffite on 75.0, a gap of -1.4 points. Directly behind is Riccardo Patrese on 72.9. 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.
