Mercedes made a bad call on the first pit stop, choosing not to pit Lewis before Max.
Either way, it would have been tough for Merc to beat the Red Bull, but Mercedes is making mistakes of being the slower car, and it should be the aggressor, not playing to try not to lose.
They needed to make the 2 stops, but the loss of time in the first one determined the race, making it Max' race from the moment he got ahead of Lewis.
Red Bull has the better car, consistently so far, but it is a long season, and Lewis is a driver of great patience and intelligence. It isn't over, yet.

What a great race, we finally have a real battle! Great race from both.

Next two races at Red Bull's home circuit in Austria. RB were strong there last year. The dynamics have definitely changed this year.
