I like the Saturday races. I get them in the am usually, so I can get up, watch the replay in 10-15 minutes on fast forward and get on with my weekend knowing it was another boring race. The added bonus is missing Q on Friday and just quickly reading the results or doing another fast forward Friday evening.

If it's good racing they could have them on Mondays for all I care. Having said that, maybe this year it would be better to have them on Saturdays so that they don't interfere with Motogp or other more worthwhile activities...

Funny, most comments are in favour of Saturday, but the votes say otherwise. To be honest, it's not my life is so packed and busy that one or the other would be world-changing.
Perks of having flexible working hours. Weekends for me are like weekdays, but with racing in the afternoon.

Saturday races are the future! I love having Sundays free. I’ve given up watching FP this season - the only thing they need to tweak is Qualy time.

Nothing new about the democratic minority making the most noise.

I voted for Saturday, expecting it to be a very small minority. I am actually shocked it is almost 30% right now and another 30% for mixed. I thought it would be staunchly 80%+ for Sundays only.
I answered, thinking I might as well explain why I would prefer a change versus the status quo, which doesn't need as much explaining.

~29% like saturday. ~29% think a mix of saturday and sunday races would be good. If you combine that, you get about 58% of the vote in favor of having a non-zero amount of Saturday races. This is still larger than the "no" group of voters which is at ~41%.

I'm guessing the Saturdayites are the sort of gloryhunting scum who couldn't find Liverpool on a map of Merseyside.

I don't like Saturday races because I work on Fridays and I won't be able to watch qualifying for most races.

No, because I like waking up 5am for F1 then following into NASCAR and Indy. Next thing I know its time to make supper.

Plenty of other sport on Saturdays, so I'm not sure it's wise of F1 to pursue too many races on that day. It also doesn't feel like a proper F1 racing weekend. Almost as annoying as night races.

The last few races were so fun to you, you just wanted even more F1 the day after

Saturdays are my errand running days.
Sundays are for chillaxing ie watching racing, football etc.

Qualy on Friday, I don't mind, I can see it on replay or record it. But the F2 and F3 races I can't record or watch again but that's the selfish me. I think it should also be considered that there are many people outside Europe also watching races and a number of times per year they should get a more convenient watching time (now they only have that with the races in Australia, China and Japan basically).
