Methodology
How we verify our data
We are an independent site covering the 2026 Madrid Grand Prix. This is what we do so you can trust every figure you read here, and how you can check it yourself against the original source.
Data verified on 11 September 2026
Our five standards
The official source comes first
Session times, gate opening, entry rules, transport access and ticket categories come from MADRING and IFEMA MADRID. If the circuit says it, that is what we publish, even when it contradicts other sites.
Prices are labelled with where they came from
The circuit does not publish a fixed grandstand price list. The ranges you see come from the specialist press and we say so every time: we never present a press figure as an official tariff.
If it is not confirmed, we say so
If the organisers have not published the concert line-up, whether the access wristband costs anything or whether there will be left luggage, we mark it as awaiting confirmation. We do not fill gaps with plausible-sounding detail.
No misleading photography
We do not use stock images to illustrate a specific venue, grandstand or event. If we do not have a real picture of it, the entry runs without one.
Every page carries a date and its sources
At the foot of any page with factual data you will find when it was last verified and the exact links we used, so you can check it yourself.
