No, Ferrari are completely independent of FCA/Fiat on paper. Prior to their flotation on the NYSE, all of FCA's shares in the company were transferred to a completely separate legal entity. Although Ferrari are still majority owned by the same people, mostly the Agnelli/Elkann families, they now do so as individual private investors rather than as a corporate subsidiary of FCA.

So, although everyone knows that it's still the same people in charge of both companies, FCA/Fiat corporately no longer own any shares in Ferrari.

Ok, I missed that latest development then. But still, the link remains in terms of shared interests. Developing an EV platform is expensive and there will no doubt be consideration as to where else it could end up and how that potential might be accommodated in it's design. I really don't think they would develop such a platform for Maserati without considering if it could also make sense at Ferrari down the line, even if that never actually transpires.
