In 1989, Martin Brundle practiced Brabham with triangle cuts on top of sidepods at Spa and Monza.

What these cuts were made for?

Would be to get a bit of extra air to the radiators.

Martin's drive at Monaco in that car was extremely impressive - such a pity he had the battery issue that meant he was stuck in the pit for a full 2m30. His fightback to 6th was excellent.
