Mind you, Jean Todt didn't achieve success immediately with Ferrari. Although the recruitment of Schumacher was the building-block of a formidable relationship.

Maybe it'll be the same with Domenicali and Alonso?

Precisely. Todt took quite some time to build the team into an unstoppable juggernaut. In recent years, Ferrari has mostly been there or thereabouts, and could easily emerge as the leading team after the normal ups and downs between seasons. It's not like Ferrari is a Williams, or even a Renault.

Ferrari will work their way to another title in time. Like McLaren, they'll always be there or thereabouts, and both teams will continue to get those titles every so often. Maybe Red Bull will join them in the realms of uninterrupted front-running participation (with the odd off-season/period thrown in every now and then, as all successful teams have somewhere down the line).......

Not quite the same though, seeing as Domenicali took over from Todt, still I'm sure he's a very well liked man in the team and paddock, just wonder if the ruthlessness and caring more about winning than being nice is there. I'm starting to think of him as a Wenger rather than a Ferguson or Mourinho.

Domenicali doesn't have unlimited testing unlimited budgets and Rory Byrne/Ross Brawn/Schumacher (though he does have Alonso who is arguably on par with Schumacher.) Or even the FIA on your books
These areas are where Ferrari made their mark in the 2000's They had an awesome run after 20 years of nothingness and they are still around the mark now so I don't know what everyone expects from them in the current F1.

Not really a question for Kiki, is it?

Key point. If equality prevailed, and Mercedes were able to give the green light for the Beryllium engines, Ferrari would've been nowhere as McLaren would've owned the field during those years.
