Why Kamui Kobayashi ranks #106 in Formula 1
Kamui Kobayashi ranks 106th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 2228th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 70.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 62, Peak 82, Longevity 72, Honours 60, 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 2009–2014 with 6 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes formula 1 podiums 1, grand prix starts 76, le mans wins 1, wec titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Carlos Pace on 70.3, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Jackie Oliver on 70.0. 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.
