Why Graham Hill ranks #10 in Formula 1
Graham Hill ranks 10th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 729th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 86, Longevity 88, Honours 86, Statistics 80. 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 1958–1975 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1962, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles 2, grand prix wins 14, indianapolis 500 wins 1, le mans wins 1.
Immediately ahead sits Jackie Stewart on 87.2, a gap of 3.2 points. Directly behind is Jack Brabham on 84.4. 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.
