I used to always lift off and eventually learned it was killing my lap times. I was curious about this corner and Googled and found this.

(apologies if this was posted before)



I still struggle to not run wide in the Ferrari 488 GT3.
 
I‘m not familiar with the behaviour of the ferrari since i drive older cars but there are general tips anyway:

1. try and stay as near as possible on the apex right hand side wirhout touching them (slippery apex, spin)
2. avoid changing gear mid-corner, brings most cars out of balance
3. keep your foot on the throttle at all times, sometimes a lift off causes small pendulum effects, swirving the car around and causing spins. If you dont dare full throttle , use half of it.
4. overtaking someone into eau rouge has mostly ended deadly, watch videos of stefan bellof. He tried and it was the last thing he did.
5. be careful with the exiting apexes both sides, because its a sweeper style exit corner, which is a dangerous type of corner. You can drive over them but with your hands very firmly on the wheel.
