Why François Cevert ranks #66 in Formula 1
François Cevert ranks 66th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 1028th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 71.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 86, Longevity 58, Honours 66, 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 1969–1973 with 4 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1973, 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 1, podiums 13, best championship finish 3, grand prix starts 47.
Immediately ahead sits Keke Rosberg on 71.1, a gap of -0.6 points. Directly behind is Gilles Villeneuve on 71.1. 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.
