The day before yesterday, Formula 1 confirmed it will be holding the Las Vegas Grand Prix in the 2023 season and announced that the race will be held on Saturday. Admittedly, in Europe it is already Sunday morning.
We are used to Formula 1 races being held on Sundays, but this was not always the case. For example, the Grand Prix of South Africa was held on Saturday and both races in Las Vegas under the name Caesar Palace Grand Prix in the parking lot of the hotel of the same name also took place on Saturday.
Saturday is the most popular day for races that didn’t take place on Sunday, but there were races on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
The last non-Sunday race was the South African Grand Prix at Kyalami in 1985. After that, the Formula 1 stages were only run on Sundays, with the Saturday stage in Las Vegas again next season. It will be the 74th in history to take place on a non-Sunday.
