The Toro Rosso cars are considered the "junior" team for Red Bull to develop new drivers. I know, hard to believe Red Bull has that much money that they can fund a 4-car F1 team (!#$!@!), but I guess those expensive energy drinks really pay the bills. Vettel was a driver for the Red Bull Toro Rosso team before he moved up to the main Red Bull car.
From a technical standpoint, the Toro Rosso Red Bull cars use Ferrari engines, so they are called Scuderia Toro Rosso. The regular Red Bull team of Vettel/Webber are Renault powered. That's not saying that Toro Rosso Red Bull are at a disadvantage using Ferrari engines (heck, Alonso and Massa are pretty darn fast), but the Toro Rosso team is for upcoming talent, so the drivers are always a little farther down on the grid.
That's why I think Webber might be replaced by a Toro Rosso driver.
There aren't too many drivers for Red Bull to choose from. An F1 driver is really a special breed. They can't recruit a driver from IndyCar or some other series. F1 drivers pretty much have to be born with this talent. They start out karting as a child, then move up through the junior F1 classes, and if they're spectacular, unbeatable, they get a shot at running in an F1 car. And the best of the best actually win an F1 race.
Webber is an excellent driver. I think he's proven himself over the years. That's an interesting theory about his slow starts, I never thought about the possibility that he has a different computer mapping to make sure he's behind Vettel on the starts, but honestly, he's never complained about it, he just admits he gets slow starts.
