Not quite. Should set out my agenda here.

His pace is above par in F1 and he is reported to have a good work ethic. But for all that, I can't remember the last time I was on the edge of my seat whilst watching Webber. Montoya occasionally (some will say always) drove rubbish races, in other races he seemed to be on another planet and made Michael and Kimi look slow.

Even now, with Nico Rosberg and Vettel attaining worthy results in unworthy cars, guys like Webber can't have much time left in the sport unless he has a little more luck or starts pulling Rabbits out of hats?

agreed he has no place in f1 going forward but he had a right to be pi55ed at vettel
Sure he had every right to be annoyed. I shouldn't think for one second that he'd be miffed at Vettel's result today, however he may regret suggesting that Vettel wasn't experienced enough for F1 (or whatever he said along those lines)

Why is Rosberg rated higher than webber. When they were team mates webber smashed him. I dont think he has ever been beaten by a team mate. He is one of the fastest out there. He is beating DC and beat Klien by a bigger margin than DC. What does he have to do. Actually DC would be infront after china but i reckon he will get him in brazil.

Cheers
Lots of little things.

In his first GP, Rosberg set the fastest lap in a car that wasn't that competitive.

Not a lot to choose between Webber and Rosberg at Williams, though this year Rosberg seems more mature. He's blown his team mate out of the water to such an extent that the team mate is now set to retire. Rosberg has also outqualified his team mate by up to 10 places.

Perhaps the most telling sign is that Williams let Webber go without too much hassle whereas he's on record as saying that Nico Rosberg is not for sale at any price. I know he's said that about Button previously but I think Rosberg is the real deal.

He has lots of talent for sure. But after so many years people paying his wages will start to ask questions.
