It is encouraging for them that they have had a good relatively trouble free 3 days but its just testing and no one will be showing their true pace so it wouldn't surprise me at all if Merc rock up for the opener and lock out the front row.
I'm more worried about Aston Martin being so far adrift tbh..

What is the plan at Redbull to counteract Mercedes' new-found form? The constructor's title is looking shaky but the driver's title is still looking healthy. But can they pull off the win of the decade at the chequered flag of Abu Dhabi?

I don't see how RBR can do anything to counteract Mercedes at this late state. The performance difference is not just a tweak here or there, but it is dominating.
Mercedes have found the magic bullet I believe, take a new ICE, turn the engine up as high as possible, rinse and repeat. A 5 place grid drop is nothing compared to the performance benifit they get above everybody else on the field.

Who knows... Do RB have quite the same scope to do what Merc are doing by turning it up to 12? I'm thinking probably not but only they will know the answer to that.
There is also a possibility that we could see the championship decided by a sudden PU failure if we are correct with our collective thoughts on how they are achieving it.

What a robust challenge Redbull has presented Mercedes this season. Their troublesome second seat has borne dividends in Perez's hands. They lead the driver's championship with 8 points and have recovered what was over 25 points at one point to a mere 5 points. It is without a doubt a tremendous performance we have seen from Redbull this season.
With Bottas a clear weak point for Mercedes, Redbull has the opportunity to reign in the constructor's championship in the next two races. The fastest lap point earned by Verstappen at Qatar could also easily be crucial at the end of the race at Abu Dhabi.

Redbull currently holds the fastest pitstop of the season at 1.88 seconds achieved at the Hungarian GP. That is so quick, it is almost unbelievable.
