Why Giuseppe Farina ranks #26 in Formula 1

Giuseppe Farina ranks 26th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 1995th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 62, Honours 84, Statistics 82. 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 1950–1955 with 6 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1950, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles 1, grand prix wins 5, podiums 20, pole positions 5.

Immediately ahead sits Lucas di Grassi on 80.6, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Stirling Moss on 80.3. 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.
