The first two races of the season will be on a Saturday!

Why F1 Bahrain and Saudi Arabia GPs are on Saturday

Everyone might already know this, but it was news to me! I'm going to miss the first race ☹️

I really don't see the need to constantly screw with event formats. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
- In this specific case it's because of Ramadan
  
  I want to say that is kind of cool of them, but we all know it is only because Aramco told F1 to not race on those days.
On a Saturday is probably the better description here. Thought you were saying the season starts today.
- I know the first two races are in the middle east, but even F1 would be challenged to do both on the same day!
  Updated the title.
Could we get the F1 calendar site linked on the sidebar? Would be useful.
- It’s already linked on the sidebar.
Cool, I can finally watch F1 on Sunday instead of on Monday. It's almost always +1 day in my time zone.
But am I going to enjoy those dictatorship-support days from my heart, I don't know.
