Can you win a title on a Saturday?

Formula 1 Grand Prix weekends typically feature practice sessions on Friday and Saturday, followed by qualifying on Saturday afternoon and the main race on Sunday. While the championship is decided by points accumulated over the season, the title itself is always awarded after the final race of the season, which is always held on a Sunday.
