Why Jean Alesi ranks #42 in Formula 1
Jean Alesi ranks 42nd among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 973rd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 73.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 66, Peak 80, Longevity 84, Honours 62, 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 1989–2001 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1995, which sets the Peak component at 80. Longevity 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 1, podiums 32, pole positions 2, grand prix starts 201.
Immediately ahead sits Jochen Rindt on 78.4, a gap of 5.0 points. Directly behind is David Coulthard on 73.5. 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.
