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

For the first time in years, the F1 season kicks off not on the usual Sunday, but on a Saturday. Why is that? Click here to find out.

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

For timezone adjusted times.

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.
Could we get the F1 calendar site linked on the sidebar? Would be useful.
- It’s already linked on the sidebar.
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.
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.
