They do own a stake in Ferrari F1 I know that and Mubadala (one of the state owned investment vehicles) is one of the team's main sponsors. Not sure if they own a stake in the main car company but they definitely own a percentage of Scuderia Ferrari (ie the racing team)

We can have 'City World' where you can experience the thrill of a Nigel DeJong tackle, be berrated for not passing by a giant Craig Bellamy, the fun of sprinting 60 yards only to see a laughing Robinho backheel the ball behind you & enjoy the fun of running past him to get it back..

I think they've got a 5% stake in the car company, could be wrong though.

Yeh, there could be a Stuart Pearce coaching experience where seven year olds are introduced to dwarf power football, a Kick around with Kev where individuals submit to endless games of five-a-side and head tennis, and a Hughesie inspired questionnaire entitled Landmarks of North Wales to which all answering 75% correct get a job on the groundstaff.

I do confirm: a 5% stake of the whole manufactoring company was sold, in 2005, by the most traditional italian merchant bank (Mediobanca) to Mubadala.
Herebelow find source from the most reliable italian paper, Corriere della sera. Apologizes for not having time to translate the whole article. If any interested, please ask and I'll do it a.s.a.p.
