Why Jackie Stewart ranks #9 in Formula 1
Jackie Stewart ranks 9th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 669th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 88, Statistics 88. 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 1965–1973 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1969, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles 3, grand prix wins 27, podiums 43, pole positions 17.
Immediately ahead sits Niki Lauda on 86.8, a gap of -0.4 points. Directly behind is Graham Hill on 84.0. 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.
