This weekend the second round of Formula 1 will be held, but the race will not be held as usual because it has been moved forward one day. I know the reasons.
This weekend, the second round of Formula 1 will take place, and the 2024 season will continue on Grand Prix of Saudi Arabia within Jeddah Corniche Circuit from the country. however, This race will have the particularity that it will take place on Saturday, March 9 and not Sunday, March 10.as usual in F1. I know what the reasons are.
Why is the F1 Saudi Arabian GP held on Saturday and not Sunday?
The only reason the race was advanced one day was religious. The beginning of Ramadanhistorical muslim holiday, is on Sunday, March 10, a date that would coincide with the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix if it were run that day.
Consequently, The Saudi Arabia GP had to be moved up to Saturday so it wouldn’t coincide with this celebrityand How pilots should have a week off, Last weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix also had to undergo the same changes.
