“Eau Rouge? Easy, it’s taken flat out.” – This is how Max Verstappen had described one of the most iconic corners in the world of motorsport, that is the left-right-left slope that leads to the long straight of the Kemmel of the Spa-Francorchamps track. The Belgian circuit is carrying out important modernization work at that point, with the removal of the Chalet above to allow the extension of the escape route, currently practically non-existent and responsible for the very dangerous ‘bounces’ on the track of those who lose control of the middle in the change of direction from left to right.
According to what was reported on Instagram by the amateur Stijn Paspont, testimony taken from the Twitter account ‘The Racing Blog’, the layout of the Eau Rouge will also change, with a more curvilinear and accentuated trajectory, a change that should make it somewhat difficult for cars at high speed to take it flat out as has been the case up to the last Formula 1 races.
