Sounds like a right mess

Nothing unusual for F1, though. Politics is more important than racing.

Don't forget sponsorship, sponsors have a huge influence on F1 today.

I can see some sponsors pulling out in the not too distant future....on budgetry grounds alone.

I am confused by the order of events. Which came first

The construction of the track stops

The F1 people decided not to hold the race?

If you reach that high age and that kind of a banking account - and still are obsessed like this with youth and money and controlling things, then you have not learned some important lessons, and your whole life was a waste, a path choosen wrong, a final result saying "gotten misled".
