Webber is a great driver, but he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Nothing unusual really, as every F1 team has their primary and secondary driver, team orders must be followed, and this happens with all teams.
Heck, I don't blame Vettel. You're driving a race car, pulling 4g turns, 5g's on braking, and it doesn't stop for 2 solid hours. You never get a break to rest your hands, grab a water bottle, or break your mental concentration for even a second. One mistake, you're not just hobbling your car back to the pits with damage, you could be seriously hurt with the speeds and g forces these cars attain.
So if you're Sebastian Vettel, 3-time world champion, the killer instinct of a great driver like Schumacher, and one of the most famous names in all of motorsport, it would be very unlikely that if you had the power to pass the 2nd place car and win the race, that you would sit still and twiddle your thumbs, allowing the #2 driver to win.
