True, but they also need manpower in the city centre to look after the protesters. Also, these protests are pretty widespread, so it's easier said than done just to close the land off.
They can also delay the race if needed and put it after Shanghai, or before or after Abu Dhabi.
The GP is an obvious symbol of government money, so the protesters aren't going to just forget about it.
I suppose they could give some tickets to the protesters and maybe finally fill the grandstands
