The Barcelona Grand Prix made the audience happiest in 2026, at 70 out of 100 on the happiness index collected with each rating.
Which round made the audience happiest in 2026?
Barcelona Grand Prix 2026 takes the season at 70 out of 100, ahead of Austrian Grand Prix 2026 at 62 and Japanese Grand Prix 2026 at 61. Happiness is collected with the rating and answers a different question, how the weekend felt rather than how the racing scored.
Each round keeps its own page for its own season, so the same venue can be read against itself from one year to the next. The full set is on the race ratings index.
What stands behind a single race score?
Every rating carries the team its author supports, and on a divisive weekend the gap between the happiest and the least happy camp runs past a full point out of five.
The method is set out in how a race rating is read, and the season as a whole in the mid season review.
