Before getting too excited about Ferrari, you might want to check your F! history. Until Ford retired from F1 (in the 1980's?), their unromantic but very effective engines had won more championships than any other manufacturer. The manufacturers' championship was introduced in the late 1950's and Ferrari won twice in the early sixties. It was 10 years before their first really successful spell and then they were back out in the cold for 15 or so years until Schumacher began winning for them in 1999.
Series of consecutive winning seasons have been common in F! for the past 40 years because of the nature of F1 engine development. Ferrari, Ford, Renault and Honda have all had winning sequences of 5+ seasons. And the rule changes are not a conspiracy by the other teams: a ridiculous idea since Ferrari probably has more influence on the sport than any other maker. Although neither aim is usually very successful, rule changes are intended to slow the cars down and/or reduce the cost of competing (which is around $100 million a season if you want a chance of being competitive).
