Oulton Park, famed for being narrower than a narrow thing being narrow.
Silverstone, famed for being so wide you have to wait for the tide to change before racing
On a more serious note: building anything that could materially affect the circuit licence is a serious business; the ground in the places where a bridge might make sense is like a sponge, the water table is hilariously close to the surface as the weather makes clear to us repeatedly; and the places where a bridge might make sense would require an enormous span with no ground support. It's not like chucking a couple of planks across two piles of bricks!
The recently published development masterplan (which I can't find right now) does have at least one bridge, which IIRC will connect the hotel (one of the hotels?) across to the Wing complex and/or access from the pit straight over to the Wing.
I hope it happens soon, in whatever form.
