for sure though, across nations there are differences in managements styles and organizational structures but given Ferrari's history overall, shouldn't this indicate that their approach has worked more often then it has not?

I don't know much about pre 80s Ferrari, but other than the 2 titles in the 1980s, isn't almost every Ferrari title won under non-Italian management? When Todt and Brawn ran the team? There were a couple in 07/08 when McLaren were busy infighting, but it's always struck me as Ferraris best years were when Italians were not running the team?
