Why Sébastien Buemi ranks #15 in Formula 1
Sébastien Buemi ranks 15th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 1880th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 88, Honours 82, Statistics 86. 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–present with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2015, 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 formula e titles 1, le mans wins 4, wec titles 4, formula 1 starts 55.
Immediately ahead sits Graham Hill on 84.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Nelson Piquet on 83.9. 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.
