Ferrari boss wants an apology

Luca di Montezemolo wants an apology from the FIA for not making all teams properly aware of the extreme wet tyre change just before the start of the race. I’m curious. While it is true that the way they informed the teams may have been flawed, but it was Ferrari’s choice to pick the wet instead of extreme wet tyres.
In those conditions, and from what they saw (James Allen commentated that it was raining 36 hours nonstop), was it likely that they would need wets (for all intents and purposes, the intermediates)? I wouldn’t have thought so. So, equally Ferrari is at fault.
The FIA has already said they will amend the way the delivery of the information will be made in the future. But what’s an apology going to do? Give Raikkonen 10 points?
I hope Ross Brawn is coming back next year. Ferrari misses him.
