Why Denny Hulme ranks #20 in Formula 1
Denny Hulme ranks 20th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 1934th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 76, Honours 82, Statistics 84. 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 1965–1974 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1967, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles 1, grand prix wins 8, podiums 33, grand prix starts 112.
Immediately ahead sits Ayrton Senna on 82.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jody Scheckter on 82.3. 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.
