Why Nelson Piquet Jr ranks #103 in Formula 1
Nelson Piquet Jr ranks 103rd among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 2223rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 70.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 62, Peak 84, Longevity 66, Honours 68, 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 2008–2009 with 2 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, 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 formula e titles 1, grands prix entered 28, formula 1 podiums 1, career f1 points 19.
Immediately ahead sits Patrick Depailler on 71.0, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Andrea de Cesaris on 70.6. 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.
