I think Webber will prove A LOT of doubters wrong. This season his driving has been on the money. Most people are saying Vettel is a better driver however most of that is based on performance vs Webber last year, when Webber wasn't at his best (due to the 2 injuries.)
With Webber now being fully fit and testing the car from the BEGINNING of the season and knowing its exact limits (well... most of the time) I can really see him giving it his all. Watching an interview with him earlier this year there was a look in his eye that let people know that he knew this season would be his best shot at winning the title.
One thing that will work against him though is the experience both Mclaren and their drivers have in FIGHTING for (not just winning) a Championship. Red Bull are obviously learning fast but 3 races now their stratergies have been.... questionable.. something that could have major ramifications as the pressure grows towards the end of the season.
