Why Elio de Angelis ranks #61 in Formula 1
Elio de Angelis ranks 61st among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 1019th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 71.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 68, Peak 82, Longevity 70, Honours 64, 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 1979–1986 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1984, 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 2, podiums 9, pole positions 3, best championship finish 3.
Immediately ahead sits Juan Pablo Montoya on 73.6, a gap of 1.7 points. Directly behind is Robert Kubica on 71.9. 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.
