Nine out of ten teams will round up their preseason today at Circuit de Catalunya. Not Red Bull Racing: the Austrians will stay at Barcelona for a filming day, sources within the paddock revealed to F1Today.net.
It was publicly known that there would be a filming day on Saturday, because it was one of the reasons that testing could not be extended this week. However, the circuit would not comment on which team would use the track, because that information was confidential.

A lot of teams have already done a filming day at the Circuit de Catalunya in the previous two weeks, so the only serious options that remained were Mercedes and Red Bull Racing. However, some sources revealed that indeed Red Bull is the team that will use the track for their second filming day of the day.
Red Bull will get 100 kilometres to film and potentially try some new parts for their machine, the RB14.

Some indeed, but far from all. Red Bull will likely be ready to spend any money and any time to be in the top field in Australia. I dont think this is the car we'll see in Melbourne.

They probably also produce some commercial content for their sponsor same time as 100km is pretty low amount of laps for a day. Race is 300km.
