I think you're right, something that needs to be looked at. However, the weather in the UAE has been exceptional over the last couple of days. Apparently the circuit was all but cut off and drainage across a whole area of the city failed..



Think heavy snow in the UK, and heavy rain in the UAE has the same level of impact.

No doubt an additional round can be added in Feb, but it will be a different circuit config.
