By now its almost too late to do a shakedown of a new car since testing starts in Bahrain in a few days time. Apart from logistics it would also make sense that they want plenty of time to analyse data and respond to any issues in between the shakedown and the official Bahrain test.
That is unless they would do the shakedown in Bahrain like Mclaren is planning, or like Haas did last season.
@ME4ME says it all right.

.Max after first miles in the RB19: 'Exactly what you hope for'
Published on 10 February 2023
Two-time Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen and his teammate Sergio Perez were in Silverstone on Friday,
where Oracle Red Bull Racing had a filming day with their 2023 car, the RB19.
During such a film day, a maximum of one hundred kilometers is allowed to be covered and driving is done on demo tires.
Hence a shakedown is all about checking the systems.
“Today I drove the RB19 for the first time,” says Max. “Of course it was a filming day here at Silverstone, but I got a good
first impression. Everything worked as it should and everything went very smoothly and that is exactly what you hope for
during such a day. Now I am really excited to go to Bahrain.”
