And it is not sugarcoat, for sure without the damper issue, riccardo couldn't have passed massa so easily,
stroll was easy to pass due to massa's slow pace, but if massa's damper had not malfunctioned, Riccy wouldn't have passed massa so easy? how does that make sense?
If Massa did not have a damper failure, he would be in a tow of Vettel and would go faster down the streight. Stroll would be in tow of Massa and go faster down the streight and by both of them going faster, Ricciardo probably couldn't outbrake both of them. The next laps, Ricciardo would not be as close to the car infront at the begining of the streight, and would maybe have problems overtaking any of the Williams Mercedes powered cars. But we will never know, and there are a lot of ifs in this race.
