Just noticed in the first 2 hours of 2020 testing, Racing Point have gone quicker than they managed in 8 days of testing last year!

You can't judge much from this week, wait until the 2nd test.

Indeed, but when your performance has been so bad this improvement is, at least, encouraging.

Of course you can. If in day 1 of testing a car is already faster than in their party mode in qualifying last year, you can tell for sure that they've improved massively.
It's not a surprise Racing Point W10 is much faster than Racing Point RP19, but it's nice to see the Williams being significantly faster (6 tenths) than it's predecessor in qualifying last year.

Not if conditions are much faster than they were in qualifying last season.

Which they aren't as an F1 car is optimized to work better in warmer conditions.

Ocon sitting a bit high in the Renault...
Top of his helmet almost level with Halo.
Maybe just compromise because test car more fitted for Ricciardo?
