My recollection of Saudi was how much the Red Bull struggled visually to get past others.

Not backed up in the tabulated data above.

Whilst DRS is strong, and often difficult to defend, it rarely impossible; We yet seen a circumstance like occasionally occurs in motorcycle racing, where the leaders actively try to be in second place on the start of the last lap, as that's where you need to be to win (aside from when the detection line is poorly placed)
The table does not do anything than list the highest speed achieved on a lap, not where on the circuit. This means the 33-34 kph is absolutely possible.
True!

If you measure the Red Bull top speed at a different point on the track, to the other cars, then it's very possible that they could be 33-34kph faster, at a point on the track.
In the quali speed trap, Verstappen was about 8kph faster than Hamilton. So RB with DRS (and Hamilton without), it is not so far fetched to see that speed difference.

Verstappen had 20kph difference to Norris in the same speed trap session!!!!
