In sportscars, the manufactuers is first, and foremost.

F1 can continue as is, but as a car fan, it has little relevance, if I follow a manufactuer, it will be in sportscars, rallying or touring cars.
F1 has no road relevance and never has, though in the last few years the FIA have been trying to push F1 down that path; their latest attempt is the V6 1.6L turbo which comes into effect in 2014.
