Their one-two triumph confirmed the Red Bull team as the 2010 constructors' champions, but left the drivers' title race wide open with both drivers still fighting to take the crown from leading Ferrari driver and two-times champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso.
Alonso finished a steady third for Ferrari ahead of the 2008 champion Briton Lewis Hamilton who was fourth ahead of last year's champion and McLaren teammate Jenson Button.
"An incredible day and I am feeling very proud now for the team," said Vettel afterwards.
"It was not easy, but once I took the lead I could control the race and look after my tyres for those final laps after the Safety Car.
"It is fantastic to get a one-two and now I have to shake off these other guys in the other championship!"
Webber was realistic about his own place, but happy for the team.
"Most of these races are decided on Saturday or on the opening lap and that's the way it is. Seb drove a good race and won it and fair play to him. But I am really stoked for the guys back in Milton Keynes."
Alonso said: "I lost my chance to challenge these guys at the start when it took me some time to catch them and I lost 12 seconds.
"But overall we did what we wanted to do and now we go to Abu Dhabi and see who wins the title. Congratulations, of course, to Red Bull."
