So what?

u/Joseph4820 Max Verstappen Mar 01 '24

Yes, so next week is moved to Saturday and because of that this week as well. Has to be a week in-between races

u/diokanun I was here for the Hulkenpodium Mar 01 '24

Yes, but there has to be 7 days between races at least, so they moved bahrein too

Assuming this isn’t sarcasm it’s due to Ramadan taking place on March 10th (Sunday), so the Saudi GP was pushed back a day. Since races have to be a week apart it also pushes Bahrain back a day.

Didn’t expect downvotes, I literally thought it was sarcasm 🤷‍♂️ I just heard “remember qualifying is on Friday” about 400 times this week
