Renault and RB need to just shut the **** up already and just get busy. You dont see Merc or Ferrari talking smack. I realize Honda isnt doing it, but RB is doing it for them. Honda and RB should be tempering expectations.

What team, not PU, logs the most mileage in testing?
I could see Renault being the first PU issue if they try to do what Honda did last year. Start with a really aggressive PU to see what they can maybe get away with. Honda and RB are going to take it super easy during the first test. RB will want to make sure they have good airflow data to check correlation. Honda will be detuned in the RB. Now maybe TR will go full retard and blow up on day 1, but Kvyat and Albon need seat time, so they may not go aggressive with TR either.
Of course there is always McLaren pushing cooling the envelope. If Alonso was still there I would say it will be McLaren, but since he left McLaren will have the fastest time and do the most mileage of the first test.
