Help! Is the start of the F1 season on a Saturday?

And yet they choose to open the season here, when traditionally it's been australia.

 

Happy Race Day!! Who cares why it is today. Liberty said ok to Bahrain and Saudi for Saturday race to accommodate them! We have racing!! How about ENJOYING IT. We waited long enough LOL

 

Yes - Normal event yearly in the Islamic World.

--The first two Formula 1 races of the 2024 season are being held on a Saturday in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

This is due to Ramadan, the Islamic holy month, starting on Sunday March 10 this year.

Saudi Arabia's second round was scheduled for that weekend and has been moved forward by a day as a result.--

 

Come on Ferrari!!! Let’s go!

Red Bull’s better tyre options quash F1 rivals’ hopes further for Bahrain GP
Red Bull’s rivals already knew before the weekend that it was going to be a tall order to beat Max Verstappen in the Formula 1 season opener in Bahrain.

--As Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz said about the deficit to Red Bull in qualifying appearing closer than last year: “Let's wait until the race.

“I think that's where they suddenly level it up and that's where they manage to have degradation that no one can have, and a race pace that no one can have.

“I think last year, if you look at the last eight races: in quali we were always there, within reach of them, and this year we felt again within reach in quali [pace]. In the race? We'll see.”

But if the performance deficit to Verstappen has left rivals feeling their chances are minimal, there is further bad news for them – because Red Bull also enjoys a tyre strategy advantage heading into the grand prix.

Almost slipping under the radar, Red Bull elected to steer clear of an early soft tyre run in final free practice and opted to use a hard tyre instead.

That means for the race, Red Bull duo Verstappen and Sergio Perez have a new soft available, while all its main opposition only have used ones.--

 

Weird one to call strategy wise. Soft is largely useless surely. I'd have suspected most trying to save 2 mediums at least...

Depending how hard Ferrari's tyre wears maybe Hard was their only tyre they can realistically use anyways

 

Maybe a undercut then hard hard. RB has no new hards. Hopefully they have some trick.

 

Well damn. Seems like they played the thinking game better again

 

Then start the damn season in Australia!
