Not sure what there is for Mercedes to gain in signing Ricciardo. They've just won both titles, and introducing someone else just introduces drama. I'm not sure why they would do it.
The Webber stuff is amusing though. Vettel was winning world titles with a ridiculous points lead, whilst Webber was struggling to fight off other cars. There's a reason that Vettel got preferential treatment - he was the one getting the job done.
