I see they've marked the shortcuts on the diagram. Ready for Lewis Hamilton then.

They will need to put the directions to the stewards office in braille.
So the stewards can find it!!!

They simply need signs marked "FIAT employees office" leading to the stewards' room

Seriously who thinks an F1 race will ever take place at Donnington? The infrastructure just isnt there, roads being the major one and I'd be gobsmacked if the track redevelopment is delivered anywhere near on time.

But i'm prepared to eat my words if the 2010 British GP isn't held at Silverstone

The roads pretty much are there. The track is very close to junction 23a on the M1 and East midlands airport. Extended the road network to make it dual carriageway to the circuit would be relatively inexpensive.

I think they'll manage it.

I don't think that they will, I think it is a ploy to get Silverstone to spend the money that they've so far avoided spending.
