So who do you think will get the upper hand? I predicted Vettel would get the upper hand over Bourdais but predicting next year i dont think is so easy.
Webber has beaten all his teammates. Vettel has this year but not so convincingly last year, but then he was only a rookie. He's not a Kubica or a Hamilton but he's very young.
Well I think Webber will have the upperhand (Watch out for huge amounts of whinging and :dummyspit: if it doesnt work out) :wink:

Webber is a good driver, especially in qualifying, but does seem to have some pretty bad luck at times. Vettel is also very fast and doesn't mind using a few interesting tactics to keep people behind him as well. Overall, I think Vettel will do better, but I don't think Webber will be too far behind.

Webbers been more luckier in the red bull. I think when he was at williams, 2 or 3 retirements were because the car was burning his bum :rofl:

I think the only team-mate to be on terms with Webber will have been Heidfeld when they were both at Williams in 2005. Heidfeld finished lower because he missed the closing races of the season due to injury and was replaced with Pizza man.

I reckon Vettel will have the measure, he got past Mark during the last race in technically the same car, but that may be down to the fact Toro Rosso has Ferrari power. Vettel needs to be careful he doesn't get too carried away with his blocking tactics next year if Webber tries to get the better of him.

I think there is a bust-up waiting to happen. Perhaps not on a Senna-Prost scale, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Webber bitching a few times. :hehe:

And if it does happen it would be big trouble for Red Bull as I'm not sure Christian Horner would be able to solve any bust-ups easilly as Red Bull are a team who have never had bust-ups as such like Prost/Senna, Piquet/Mansell etc.

I think Vettel will be very inconsistent but wack in a few good resultys at the start of the season but drift off towards the end. Therefore Webber will finish higher up. With consisent racing.
Webber will outqualifying him most of the time - surely that is a safe bet?

Yes thats a safe bet! If his luck stops being so bad :hehe: I think he'll get it on the racing too.

Webber. He's got a ton more experience and he's been consistently fast from team-to-team regardless of team-mates. I think it will be close but I think Webber has more savvy and is more polished. His comments regarding Vettel in the ITV pre-race wer're fairly humorous as well.

They were pretty good. They were the highlight of the race weekend up to the safety car.
