Besides, he lengthened the track. Not shortening it the way Button did on his detour.

That particular turn is actually a parking lot for the sport complex near by. I do not think they could've just put gravel or grass for run off area.
It is possible to put a wall but it will contradict FIA's guideline to introduce more "run-off" area.
