Eau Rouge

Eau Rouge is one of those mythic corners All the teams are lined up on that wall Everybody's watching to see who's going left or Who's going to carry the most speed through there And for the drivers, You all know you really judge each other Because it's one of those measures of bravery When you come out of that hairpin, You make a gear change, you get up to speed You start hugging the pit wall and trying to get as Much aerodynamic benefit from hiding behind the wall All you're doing, the whole way down, is measuring the car And getting yourself absolutely prepared to what's about to happen Because if you don't walk up to Eau Rouge Without a very firm plan to what's going to happen You land in trouble very quickly You go into this enormous compression and the car behaves quite oddly And it because fires into this wall of tarmac, It resists, so you end up using quite a lot of steering force And it goes the opposite to a point as you Go over that crest where everything lines up It's like a dance
