“Because the United Arab Emirates is sending arms and mercenaries to the genocidal Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, Swedish pop star Zara Larsson is pulling out of her scheduled December 3rd performance at the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.”

Yup. A lot of series that's racing under FIA are either cancelling or changed venue to somewhere else. WRC cancelled their Saudi race, while WEC changed their Qatar and Bahrain race to Barcelona-Catalunya and Monza. Heck, even F1 themselves already moved one of their Middle East races(Bahrain GP) venue to Malaysia. There's no way they're going…
The organizers have already found a new location the only reason it's not cancelled yet is because they want to hold out as long as possible in hopes that it might not get cancelled. If nothing changes with the current political climate then it will definitely get cancelled.
