But Ferrari's electronics come from Formula 1.

Ferrari was behind in many ares and by the late 1980s they begun to bring foreigners to catch up and/or surpass the rest in terms of electronics, aerodynamics and materials. Enzo Ferrari was even more radical as he wanted to move the Scuderia to Britain.

Ferrari were the ones who in in F1 in 1989 introduced the semi-automatic paddle shifted gearbox; then in 1990 they have also introduced Traction Control-Launch Control (Ferrari created the first TC-LC system not Williams nor Volvo nor McLaren, contrary to popular beliefs) and active dampers/semi-active suspensions.

It's a clear case of improving-the-breed/technological-progress/relevancy.
