Why Pastor Maldonado ranks #124 in Formula 1
Pastor Maldonado ranks 124th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 2248th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 65.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 58, Peak 86, Longevity 60, Honours 54, Statistics 76. 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 2011–2015 with 5 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, 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 1, pole positions 1, grand prix starts 95, career points 76.
Immediately ahead sits Yuki Tsunoda on 66.0, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Tom Pryce on 65.7. 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.
