Why Zsolt Baumgartner ranks #128 in Formula 1
Zsolt Baumgartner ranks 128th among Formula 1 athletes on GOAT Rank and 2253rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 64.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 52, Peak 74, Longevity 74, Honours 52, 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 1997–2008 with 2 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, which sets the Peak component at 74. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 78 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes grand prix starts 20, championship points 1, best grand prix finish 8, first hungarian f1 driver 1.
Immediately ahead sits Ronnie Peterson on 64.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jolyon Palmer on 64.6. 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.
