Why Piero Taruffi ranks #56 in Formula 1
Piero Taruffi ranks 56th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 2149th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 74.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 88, Longevity 70, 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 1950–1957 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1952, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand prix wins 1, podiums 5, mille miglia wins 1, grand prix starts 18.
Immediately ahead sits John Watson on 74.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Tony Brooks on 74.6. 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.
