Why Jean-Pierre Jarier ranks #89 in Formula 1

Jean-Pierre Jarier ranks 89th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 2206th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 71.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 60, Peak 84, Longevity 86, Honours 56, 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 1971–1983 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1979, which sets the Peak component at 84. Longevity 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 podiums 3, pole positions 3, grand prix starts 134, career points 31.5.

Immediately ahead sits Elio de Angelis on 71.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Esteban Ocon on 71.8. 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.
