How many podiums and wins did he have before he was in the fastest car on the grid? Can you count them on one hand?
In their time together, in the same car. Vettel has notched up as many wins as WINS as Webber has podiums. So what does that say?
How many pole positions has Vettel had in that time? 3-4 times more?
Yeah, I agree. He is rubbish.

Then so was Villeneuve, Barrichello and Button all of who only achieved wins and podiums in really fast cars. In fact most drivers in F1 only win in fastest cars.
Any driver that makes it to F1 is a good driver and any who does as well as Webber is a brilliant one, regardless of the car.
I think people need to remember how good all these drivers are and just how good the likes of Vettel, Hamilton and Alonso are.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

And I do not for a second believe that Webber is in any way "brilliant" compared to anyone currently on the grid, with few exceptions.
He is a driver who showed much promise when he came into F1 and then showed nothing special since. He has been very luck to be in the position in which he is, but he is a number #2 driver and can't admit it to himself.
He has had the fastest car since 2009. 4 years. And what does he have to show for it? While his team mate has dominated, he hasn't made an impact. In 2009 or 2010, yes he was a good drivers. He was very lucky that Vettel had two technical failures while leading, (and went kamakazee on him) that gave him a chance - and Webber blew it.
In 2011, WTF. Vettel won 11 races. Webber won 1. And even that was an act of charity from RedBull in hope of getting him #2 in the c'ship. Now #3 doesn't sound bad, but that's 134 point difference.
Where was he last year? 6th.
This isn't a brilliant driver in my book, average, on the level DC, Rubens, even Button.

By you calling Red Bull the BEST TEAM I can only assume that you are saying Webber has been doing the business. He would thank you for the recognition I'm sure.
His performance in the BEST CAR has been exemplary. He has only been headed in the championship by a couple of world champions in the last 3 years. How's this, of drivers who have never won a world championship, Webber has led his category in all of the last 3 years.
In 2009 he was beaten by 2 non-world champions. Vettel and Barrichiello in the BAR with which Button won the championship.
When did JV retire again? 2006, 2007? I seem to have lost his number but if I did ask him I'm sure he is not curled up in a ball over anything Mark Webber might have done all those years ago.
Blocking is defending and if Webber is the worst blocker on the grid then he needs to work on it - even in these long dark DRS days. I would love to see a grid full of blockers but alas that pleasure is denied us by the "push to pass" and DRS fanboys who rule F1 today.
There should be only one team order and that is "you scratch it, you pay for it".
It is not time for Webber to go in my opinion but it is time for him to go for it...

Where was in in 2011 when his team mate won half the races and Webber had one out of RBR's charity?

Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
