Thing is, the perspective of out of control is quire subjective. Bar one season they've been in the top 3 and the change
Ferrari go through quite often is actually part of their control.
If it doesn't work, change it, keep trying till it works and then hand them bags of cash, use of the corporate jet and free cars. And it is that relentless approach that has won many titles.
Ferrari haven't won a title in 15 years.
But they've been running like this for much longer.

You run for a few years, win nothing, get sacked or leave. If your successful, you stay until your not or you leave.
Jean Todt is the only one I think he left without some pressure. Domenicalli had some sparse years and threw himself on the sword.
other than that the last long term ran until 1988, by a guy who won 4 titles, with the last in 83... a few years and gone. He got an extra year to fail before going due to winning four titles
It may not be a popular way of running a team, but it has won more than anyone else.
Another parallel philosophy is that no one is bigger than
Ferrari, not Prost, not Vettel, not anyone. Apart from Maybe Schumacher in his day
The relentless
Ferrari machine, but you cannot argue that over time it works.
