It’s a basic hairpin. Pretty tight, going down, we need an exit as clean as possible because we have a very long straight line going to “Eau Rouge” which is flat out in Formula One. You need to come with the maximum speed as possible, as you got the hill you lose a little bit of performance. And then, you have a very long straight line coming a little bit up hill. It is where you need the maximum of performance. This exit of La Source is extremely important. Then we have a corner in Formula One which is not really a corner: Blanchimont! It is pretty easy for us. It’s flat out. It becomes a real challenge in the wet. I think it’s the best place to drive a Formula One Car. It’s really amazing.
