Every F1 team is entitled to two 'Promotional Events' - or filming days - during a year with their current challenger.
Many teams elect to run one of the days prior to pre-season testing.
Stake has opted to do so this year at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, host of the Spanish Grand Prix.
The running allows teams to collect marketing content while also providing engineers with initial operating data of the new challengers.
A tweak to the regulations this year has seen the maximum track time increased from 200km to 400km.
