The Red Bull RB6 is a Formula One motor racing car designed and built by Adrian Newey for Red Bull Racing's 2010 campaign. It is driven by 2009 runner-up Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber and was launched on February 10 at Jerez.
Vettel, who makes it a habit to give his racing cars names, named his RB6 "Luscious Liz". However, after unspecified minor damage was found on this chassis after the Monaco Grand Prix, the team gave Vettel a new chassis, which he then named "Randy Mandy."
