FORMULA ONE chiefs are considering holding more races on a SATURDAY.
There is wide-spread belief that the schedule could see the opening two races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia switched from Sunday so as not to clash with Ramadan.
Race fans could soon see some F1 GPs switch from Sunday to Saturday
This year’s Las Vegas Grand Prix is also scheduled for a Saturday race and will become the first time in 38 years a full world championship grand prix race not to be held on a Sunday.
The Las Vegas GP will start at 10pm local time which will be 6am in the UK due to the time difference.
The last race to be held on a Saturday was the 1985 South African Grand Prix at Kyalami, which was won by Nigel Mansell.
It comes as world champion Max Verstappen dominates the standings ahead of this weekend’s British GP at Silverstone.
He’s on 229 points, well clear of second-placed Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez on 148.
