There is literally no more room in the current location of the pitlane/paddock.

Yeah, I see the pit/paddock implementation plan every year and it's squeezed in pretty tight indeed (nothing like the luxury spaces everywhere else in F1 tracks), however didn't everyone say same about the upcoming 60 though, yet they still managed to carve in those 4? They could extend it from the start and move the pit road a bit.
Anyway, I'm still extremely glad they managed to extend it to 60 even if the capacity could be pushed, much more than a decade ago.
