Why Michele Alboreto ranks #29 in Formula 1

Michele Alboreto ranks 29th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 936th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 84, Longevity 82, Honours 68, Statistics 80. 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 1981–1994 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1985, 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 5, podiums 23, pole positions 2, championship runner-up finishes 1.

Immediately ahead sits Ayrton Senna on 82.7, a gap of 6.4 points. Directly behind is Jacky Ickx on 76.9. 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.
