As RaceFans reports, fans have been having their say on the 2026 Brazilian Grand Prix through the long-running Rate the Race survey. Out of a total of 65 voters, the largest single share—accounting for 42% with 27 votes—awarded the race an 8 out of 10. Meanwhile, 23% of participants (15 votes) went with a 9, and 14% (9 votes) settled on a 7. At the extremes, 8% of voters (5 votes) gave the event the lowest possible score of 1, while 3% (2 votes) marked it as a 10.
Beyond the raw scores, the weekend threw up its fair share of drama and talking points out on the circuit. Stewards were kept busy, ruling that Lewis Hamilton gained no advantage when passing Oliver Bearman off the track. Later, Liam Lawson climbed up to seventh in the order after the stewards handed out a penalty to Charles Leclerc for a collision.
Lewis Hamilton also opened up about his high-speed spin, admitting he simply did not hear the radio message informing him that the rain was intensifying. Further down the pit lane, Max Verstappen delivered a remarkably blunt assessment of his run to second place, stating that he completed 85% of the race with a broken machine.
There was even a bizarre off-track hiccup during the post-race celebrations, as Formula 1 displayed the wrong race name in a graphic on the podium. From on-track penalties to technical headaches and graphical blunders, the Brazilian round certainly gave voters plenty to chew on when deciding their final scores.
