Why Jean-Pierre Jabouille ranks #108 in Formula 1
Jean-Pierre Jabouille ranks 108th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 2230th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 69.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 64, Peak 86, Longevity 66, 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 1974–1981 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1979, 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 2, pole positions 6, grand prix starts 49, career points 21.
Immediately ahead sits Jackie Oliver on 70.0, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Innes Ireland on 69.6. 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.
