Vettel lead from the start but ran into gearbox problems. He let Webber past and concerted on ensuring he got to the finish in second place.
McLaren's Jenson Button and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso battled for third, with Button getting past with 10 laps left.
Button's team-mate Lewis Hamilton retired with a gearbox collapse.
Button's third place sealed second spot in the championship, while Webber stimulated ahead of Alonso into third by just one point.
Webber's victory will be a release for the Australian, who had faced the prospect of finishing without a win in a season which Vettel has conquered throughout, taking 11 wins and a record 15 pole positions from 19 grands prix.
"Very good," Webber said. "Felt good all weekend, Sebastian did a great lap for pole, had a little bit of the rub of the green.
