Agreed. However Ferrari's consistency in the sport is a major reason their status has grown to the level it's at. To be honest, there is nothing special about the brands technical feats in racing. Factory teams of lesser statuses have always came around to pick on them and beat them. But the consistency behind them staying around is one thing no other brand or company in history has the privilege of matching, and will never match. This alone is worth its praise alone. Its hard to root for a team when they are not consistently around, let alone competitive, and Ferrari is the only company that can claim they have been both over decades in the industry.
The majority of their victories has been against privateer teams and even then, they've been beaten by these teams over the years. Several times over whenever other factory teams stepped up to race they could barely keep there dominance alive. Just as Mercedes are doing now. BMW in their short recent stent with Williams gave them a hard run for their money and Mclaren Mercedes even showed them up a couple times even with rookie drivers.
