Following Grand Prix since Mass Dampers were banned, especially two tracks with lots of sharp corners, I noticed that a few teams are down on their 'mass damper era' performances and a few are up on their 'mass damper era' performances.
  Ferrari have announced they run no such system, and Renault we know did. But did Honda? Irrespective of rain, they have been doing a hell of a lot better since the things were banned. Did they have one to begin with?

  Anyone know?

IŽll try to put it in an easy way: a mass damper is a moving mass thats works with the suspension in order to compensate the car roll. The mass damper doesnŽt work by itself. You must think the car from the begining to work with a mass damper.
