LOS ANGELES — A Swiss father and his son who gained millions of Facebook Inc. followers through their Ferrari S.p.A. fan pages sued the social media company and the carmaker claiming they teamed up to illegally seize control of the websites.

The lawsuit filed in California state court follows earlier legal spats in Europe between Olivier and Sammy Wasem and the sports car company over their “Ferrari Fan Page” and a separate “Formula 1 Vision” page.

“Ferrari wanted it,” the Wasems said in a complaint filed Oct. 14 in San Mateo County Superior Court. “So, with Facebook’s knowledge and substantial assistance, Ferrari took it.”
