The rumour has been this could be the last race in Brazil as they can't afford it anymore. Ecen if they can, I think FOM could afford armed escorts...

If Brazil turns out to be too dangerous and corrupt for F1 of all sports...

To think they had the world cup and Olympics as well. No wonder they can't afford F1/the corrupt oligarchs don't need to bother with the bribes/murders needed to make the government keep paying for it.
