They put entirely to much money, time and effort...promoting that event for it to fail.

EVERY single hotel room in the country is booked. People are renting out rooms in their houses. Gulf Air (sponsor of the event) has set up extra flight from Dubai. Schools are shut down for the race, hundreds of palm trees have been planted. Heck, they might even scrub the graffiti off the Tree of Life.
Got to walk the track with one of the engineers a little while ago. Pretty impressive.
I would not be at all shocked to find that incidents like the one mentioned above increase as the race approaches, or that the above incident was in part a reaction to the upcoming events.
