You're claiming Vettel can score 380+ points on his own? Alonso has 195, Massa 89, 25 points for a win, 500 possible points for one driver, 860 for a team, 660 if they only take 2nd and 3rd.
If a driver won every race he would lose the constructors to a team that placed 3rd and 4th every race, by 40 points.
It's certainly plausible that Webber is getting a genuinely inferior car, I just can't see any sane team hobbling their chances at a championship. To what end? Spite? Distraction? Cost cutting? If they got caught they have no chance at the championship anyway, why wouldn't they be dominating?
I guess my point is that Vettel seems to be
that good, if they were cheating with something like traction control Webber would be fighting for podiums more consistently.
Edit: for reference check out the years of Schumacher and Senna/Prost and Williams domination, they had something up their sleeve and both cars were up front, bad luck or not Webber is not as much of a front runner as Vettel is.
