The uncertainties around car provider Nissan surely didn't help.

Does this mean they’re also dropping the genocide sponsor?

Probably depends if the team in its entirety folds or gets sold. Maybe McLaren owner Bahrain sells to Saudi Arabia and the entry becomes the Neom FE Team.

I never understood why they went Formula E vs WEC it seemed like WEC would be a better fit for selling their cars
They announced joining Formula E in 2020, and the future of the hypercar category was not fully clear at that time, LMDh was announced also in 2020, I guess their Formula E deal was already settled before. In the late 2010s WEC didn't look very interesting. Porsche left it in 2017, the only factory team was Toyota in LMP1
