Webber, who finished second on the day and third for the season, certainly went out on a high note. The 37-year-old Australian, who is set to leave F1 to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship, put forth a tremendous race despite plenty of emotions, per NBC's F1 Twitter feed:
Another individual who deserves season-end recognition is Max Chilton.
The 22-year-old rookie didn't secure any points on the season, but as NBC pointed out, he made history by finishing every race:
Chilton certainly has a bright future, as does his Marussia-Cosworth team, which finished 10th in the constructors' championship and earned themselves a massive and well-deserved raise:

As you'll notice, Vettel could have won the team championship all by himself following his dominant season. But that didn't stop Mercedes from showing its enthusiasm for a second-place finish:
While drivers and teams partake in deserved celebrations, fans will unfortunately have to go through an F1 break following a scintillating season.
But have no fear; 2014 is on its way:
