This certainly helps but I don't think you can blame Ferrari for the situation nor is their continued success solely a result of extra money from Bernie. All the teams would like to negotiate an advantage if they could. Mercedes could be enjoying the exact same benefit if they hadn't pulled out of the sport so long ago.

Money doesn't equate success. Just ask Honda and Toyota. What it does do is help with stability as well funded teams don't have to cut corners and can pay the best people. It's what the team does with those people that counts. Ferrari put the right people in the right places in the mid '90s and success followed. They seem to have done well replacing those people and I think that while ever they continue to do that they'll be at or near the top of F1.

of course its not only about money but it sure helps just look at williams from hero to zero in 5 years. and like i said ferrari is legendary many drivers and staff would choose ferrari instead of red bull or what ever just because it is ferrari.
