I half agree with you - Rossi is great at pulling a team around him, like Schumacher is. I think Ferrari's problem will be that the difference between success and total failure in F1 is so tiny that it's not good enough to have someone like Rossi, you need a top level driver and top level people everywhere else.
MS has built Ferrari around himself over the last few years, which makes them vulnerable to change.
Where Ron Dennis is very smart, he drives that top level selection of people and facilities and then nurtures great drivers so, keeps McLaren strong - probably the best team principal in the business (Even if my heart wants to see Williams up at the top level again - FW & PH racers to the core!).
Just an aside - I wonder if MS has any plans to be a Team Principal and would he be any good?
