I *think* it has reduced the overall length of the International Pit Straight grandstand.

And I think that your picture only shows the first half of the construction. Going by the illustration from Business Traveller, the hotel will extend a further amount to the right, at least equal to what is portrayed in the photo.

By the way, I have no objection in principle to a hotel being built at Silverstone, but it surely shouldn't be at the expense of the spectators; their is more than ample land within the complex without having to either block spectators view of the track or having to demolish grandstands.
