Where the lap is won. And lost.
EAU ROUGE & RAIDILLON
Look up.
The left-right climb is the postcard view for good reason. The road rises sharply away from the valley.
THE MIDDLE SECTION
Keep the speed.
Fast corners reward commitment and balance. The long lap leaves plenty of places to lose momentum.
THE RUN HOME
Read the conditions.
Grip can differ around this large circuit. A dry corner does not promise a dry lap.
Spa, on your clock.
