Ferrari is, and will remain a top team for as long as they take part in F1. I doubt there will be another wilderness period of two decades between world titles ever again.

Could be so, but what is different about Ferrari now compared to what we saw in the 80's and 90's? Are they now even a bigger legend than they were back then, which as a result guarantees a constant influx of top-level engineers and a big amount of funds? Maybe once it was thought about Lotus or Williams too that they would never fall backwards. What is the main difference that should guarantee Ferrari's ever-lasting presence at the top? Building their own engines? That they have managed to survive and return to the top flight after the loss of their great leader and founder unlike Lotus, so that the brand is now based on much more than one legendary man? Or the status of the team as a national symbol? - I doubt any other team can claim that at the moment.
