"Why does the season begin on a Saturday?
Formula One races are typically contested on Sundays, but three races will take place on Saturdays this year.
The opening two races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia will take place on Saturdays to accommodate Ramadan, which is expected to start Sunday, March 10. The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was scheduled for March 9, and the opener in Bahrain was moved up a day to allow for a full week between races, per F1 regulations.
The Nov. 23 Las Vegas Grand Prix will also be held on a Saturday night to best accommodate American and European viewers. “We have found a solution so that European fans can watch the race with a cup of coffee at six or seven in the morning, just like it happens in the U.S. during the European races,” Las Vegas Grand Prix CEO Renee Wilm told Racing News 365 of the decision."
