The 2026 Canadian Grand Prix was scored by the people who watched it, in the hours after the flag. It came out at 3.21 out of five against a season average of 3.23, and the interesting part is who gave which number.
How did the audience score the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix?
The round scored 3.21 out of five with a happiness reading of 53 out of 100, which puts it 8th of the 11 rounds measured that season against an average of 3.23. That puts it in the middle of the season, neither a highlight nor a write off.
The same round in undefined scored 3.6 with a happiness reading of 62, so the venue fell back between the two visits. Both readings live on the circuit page.
Who did the audience name Driver of the Day?

Max VerstappenDid every audience agree?
No. Every rating carries the team its author supports, and on this weekend 0.86 points separated the happiest camp from the least happy. Country of residence separated the same ratings by 0.49 points, less than allegiance did.
Which camp gave which number is part of the audience profile rather than a public page. Why the split says more than the average is explained in how a race rating is read.
How was it watched?
81.2% of the logged viewing was live, 7.6% came from replays and highlights and 2.1% was at the circuit. A rating collected from a live audience is a reaction rather than a recollection, which is why the two are never mixed here.
Where does this round stand in the season?
Every round of the last two seasons carries the same three measurements on the race ratings index, and the venue keeps a permanent page on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The season it belongs to is read in full in the mid season review.
