downforce began to use engine mapping tricks to blow exhaust gasses sealing the diffuser when the driver wasn't on the throttle. (Being tabbed as off throttle blowing) Thus not only giving downforce through corners, but also into stopping zones, making the car extremely planted over curbings, a trick which Sebastian Vettel was the master of utilizing. The high amount of rear downforce created by the blown double diffuser also meant the team could run quite an aggressive rake on the car so that the front wing was closer to the ground than on other designs, giving it a very accurate front end and mid way through the season Red Bull started experimenting with wings that flexed closer to the ground under high speed air and gave even more front end downforce. The RB6 was important not just for what it represented in speed, but also for what it done to the sport. For 2011 exhaust blown diffusers became a must have device and spawned an entirely new war of engine mapping and exhaust blowing. The playing field was only leveled in 2012 after most of the technologies the RB6 introduced were banned. The fact that going into the title decider at Abu Dhabi Fernando Alonso was the clear favorite to take the drivers championship represented just what a strange season 2010 was as despite both Red Bull drivers having excellent runs, they rarely both had strong performances together in the same race with a mixture of reliability, strategy and driver
