Also big thumbs up to Ferrari's technical department. It's not easy to find such massive improvements with all the restrictions in place.
Now please deliver some solid updates and then focus fully on 2022.

You are getting me wrong. The fault is in the Car (suspension/aero). If driver doesn’t feel confident with race set up, eventually dial in for quali to get a better position on the grid & see if they can play around with strategy. That’s what happened last year.
To give you with actual proof, Ferrari were never comfortable on their tyres especially Hards. You can check the previous stats.

It's a shame Carlos could not recover to 6th or 5th. But still, I am very curious about Ferrari's racepace tomorrow, compared to RBR and MB. We have a different tyrestrategy, so I think that if on these reds Charles can get past Bottas quickly and then follow Max and Lewis for as long as he can, then yellows and maybe reds for the end..............possible podium??
You can run like the wind, but you'll never outrun the Prancing Horse
Seems like Williams improved too...!! They aren’t last. Haas team
Shame Sainz pop's the bed in q3 as would have been 5th. With Perez out the equation 4th and 5th was par for the course if Ferrari are to be 3rd team. On a power sensitive track they had 2 tenths on the lead AT and 3 tenths on the lead McLaren. Only 3 tenths off the lead Merc. After last year when they were around 1.2 seconds off the lead Merc that's a healthy 0.9 net gain. Kind of adds up with the engine, drag balance and wonky gearbox being fixed. Good start.
Let's still not underestimate Mercedes. This is not the first time they overcame a opponent who was faster at the beginning of the season. With that said, until they solve their problems, we must make the most of it and try to steal from them.

Ferrari and red bull teams the biggest improvements .
Tsunoda's pace in Q1 was highly suspicious for sure considering he's a rookie in the season with the least testing. Even Max and Charles took time to get up to speed with more testing. Do they alter his engine modes compared to what Gasly is getting? As in, let's take engine penalties later just to check what mode the engine is capable of? It's strange.
