Why Damon Hill ranks #53 in Formula 1
Damon Hill ranks 53rd among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 1006th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 74.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 66, Honours 74, Statistics 76. 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 1992–1999 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1996, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles 1, grand prix wins 22, pole positions 20, podiums 42.
Immediately ahead sits Eddie Irvine on 73.1, a gap of -1.1 points. Directly behind is Charles Leclerc on 72.8. 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.
