I think manipulative might be more appropriate than abusive. Though having said that, have Ferrari actually benefited from any of this posturing? The last time a Ferrari driver won the WDC was 10 years ago and the last time they won the WCC was 9 years a go. Since then, despite having hired Alonso and now Vettel, they are still playing second fiddle.
Maybe Ferrari should be looking at themselves, rather than trying to manipulate F1 for their own ends because so far, it hasn't worked.
