As with football, or any other sport, I can’t help but hate teams / sportspeople who think they have a divine right to success.
Vettel and Ferrari are the Stephen gerrard and mid 00s Liverpool of F1.

That is another possibility that I forgot to mention, Ferrari's special share of the money pot due to their heritage in the sport (not sure if that's still a thing, haven't looked at anything regarding the newly resigned Concorde agreement).
sportspeople who think they have a divine right to success.
Yeah, but people still adore Senna (always baffled me with people's different opinions of Schumacher and Senna, to me they're incredibly similar)

Personally I don't get the hatred towards teams in motorsport (one of the big draws of motorsport for me has been that it's not a zero-sum game, so you tend not to see the same tribalism as you would in football, rugby and other two party sports). Do people feel that to the extent that they'd rather have a single team dominating (granted Verstappen is occasionally a fly in the ointment) and see a one-time championship contender limping around at the back of the pack, as opposed to a close championship fight?
And on Ferrari specifically, is it the Schumacher dominance years that's the reason? Or the questionable FIA judgements back in the Mosely era?
