I was more thinking along the lines of retirement and being past it rather than Eau Rouge.

Well, it just happens to be an English idiom to mean no longer at your peak of ability. It probably came about because if you draw a graph showing your ability over time, it looks like a hill. A peak can relate to the summit of a hill/mountain as well as to ability. So to be over the hill means to be past the peak of the ability.

Did I make any sense? Probably not...
