Why Jacky Ickx ranks #30 in Formula 1
Jacky Ickx ranks 30th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 938th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 78, Honours 74, 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 1966–1979 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1970, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand prix wins 8, podiums 25, pole positions 13, le mans wins 6.
Immediately ahead sits Michele Alboreto on 76.3, a gap of -0.6 points. Directly behind is Mark Webber on 76.2. 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.
