1️⃣ Mercedes seem to have trimmed a bit of downforce from fp-1 to be competitive in the straights.

2️⃣ RedBull are still 4kmph faster in the speed trap

3️⃣ Mercedes makes up time in the corners the car looks competitive in low medium and high-speed corners

4️⃣ Mercedes may be carrying a bit more downforce than RedBull this may give them an advantage in managing the tires in the race.
