Red Bull and Honda-Japan noticed that the Mercs Party-Mode is more powerful than they were thinking ...

According the telemetry the Mercs Party-Mode is pushing "160+ HP" more than the RB16 !
That's why they can run with a 13 km/h higher top-speed . In qualifying the RB16 makes actually no chance at all , by the power they are coming faster out the corners ...
Regarding the DAS advantage we already know ...

Red Bull noticed also that Mercs are running lighter :
The Mercs engine consumes less of fuel . This means the Merc can run lighter with less of fuel in the fuel tank .

The current situation sounds not good my friend....
My UKM5 and MBelgium friends -
As you said, just a wheel nut or a botched tire change or any small issue could level the playing field....I'm thinking about the ebb and flow of racing fortunes and how it can change everything; remember in 2016 when HAM had a ton of DNF's due to engine, etc....and ROS capitalized on HAM's misfortunes....I forsee HONDA bringing power updates to RB and Newey continuing to pull tricks out of his bag of excellence.
