For a start they have a new engine for Verstappen and a new front wing for both of them and it looks very much like it was a true practice session for them to dissect how to get the most out of these new items. Do you really think the Red Bull is only 0.1 second faster then a Mclaren.
Lets wait till tomorrow to see the true pace.
My best guess is that their 5 tenths prediction is overblown as is per norm with Renault....
So everybody else was going flat out and just red bull was testing their engine and new aero bits... ya ok sure... Ferrari and merc have new aero bits too along with a new turbo and compressor for vettel, they didnt bother testing those?
So when teams were doing their qualy sims and red bull put on the ultra softs did one warm up lap one timed lap then went back to the pits that was dissecting the new engine and aero?
Look i doubt any team has their engine turned up.... im just pointing out how wrong your excuse for red bull is
