Why Innes Ireland ranks #109 in Formula 1
Innes Ireland ranks 109th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 2231st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 69.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 62, Peak 86, Longevity 68, Honours 58, 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 1959–1966 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1960, 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 4, grand prix starts 50, career points 47.
Immediately ahead sits Jean-Pierre Jabouille on 69.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Daniel Ricciardo on 69.5. 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.
