About the Red Bull Racing RB6
Launched at Jerez in February 2010, the RB6 was designed under Adrian Newey, who later called it probably the car with the most downforce in Formula One history. Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber won nine races between them, but reliability problems and their rivalry cost points, including their collision in Turkey and Vettel's engine failure while leading in Korea. Red Bull secured its first constructors' title with a one-two in Brazil. Vettel then won the final race in Abu Dhabi from pole to take his first drivers' championship.
