It did, but di Montezemelo clearly understood that it's not an overnight thing and he had to stand by the management team as they built up to the dominance they carried for almost a decade.
He was there for the long term. He understood that practice makes perfect.
When the boat started to rock and the musical chairs started, Ferrari fell by the wayside. Look at the other teams that have had long term success, and you'll see a set of senior management that are rock solid and in there for the long term.
Horner and Wolff being just two - they have loads of immediate underlings and people below them who've been there for years.
Unfortunately, Ferrari are their own biggest problem.
