After Brazil, Ferrari and Fernando were respected and commended for their spirit and determination for trying to win the world drivers championship up until the final race. Worldwide News media had nothing bad to say about Ferrari after the performance they gave, most fans felt bad for them and hoped that they would maybe get the job done next year, Ferrari's reputation by the looks of it after Brazil was never higher! The majority also wanted Ferrari to win over RBR considering they had a slightly slower car all year but they were faultless!

"Flag-Gate" has now damaged Ferrari's reputation back to the days of the late 90's to mid 00's? It seems (rumoured) Ferrari were the first to start this lie up on twitter by trying to find anything at fault with Seb's drive that day and got the media involved to pressure the FIA. Even though he did everything right apart from the start and lap 1 he did everything correct. The Spanish and Italian media hit new lows by trying to call Seb a "fake champion" and a "cheater", this is one of the very few times I have ever seen this being done and it just stinks of bitterness from their side after an amazing F1 season. The great season of 2012 was tarnished because Ferrari/Spaniards/Alonso/Italians couldn't let it go that they got beat fair and square by the rule book and they had to go out of their way to piss on it and kicked up a fuss.
The damage has already been done now and Ferrari's true nature has been exposed, maybe Sebs comment about "dirty tricks" was in fact correct all along and all this "Seb to Ferrari in 2014" rumour was in fact a lie to unsettle him and RBR.
Have Ferrari hit an all time low? Can they every gain the respect back after this stunt? Will Seb ever drive for Ferrari now after all the stunts they pulled this season?
