Don’t forget, Ferrari and Vettel are under constant pressure from the press. By appealing they can maybe be the victim.

Vettel has done more than enough over the past couple of years to imitate his "role model" and has gotten off way too lightly. And this has emboldened some of the fans too, who exhibit bad behavior.
