Ferrari outspent everyone and had the best talent in every beyond driving itself. Beyond that, he was a genuinely excellent driver in a field that was quite mediocre.
Not to mention that FIA got often nicknamed as Ferrari International Assistance since they helped ban quite a few parts that gave others an edge against them.

read the ross brawn + adam parr strategy book that just came out, they pretty much lay out how ferrari did it. >>62677 is right on the key ingredients, but ferrari also had a very harmonious/involved team. look at toyota for what happens when you burn money to power your car and don't bother with politics.
they also make some good analyses of bernie's sun tzu art of war techniques, like sowing internal division amongst your enemies.

IMO Toyota's big problem was that they wanted everything to be done in-house and preferably in Japan.

because he was the best driver
you can have all the other shit, but if the driver can't drive, its all meaningless.
people forget it was Schumacher's sheer talent that killed Sena because Sena was scared shitless of him.
