Footwork Porsche was the team name. Michele Alboreto, after he left Ferrari, joined this squad but it was a terrible effort. Needless to say, Porsche left F1 soon thereafter. BTW, Lamborghini was also an engine supplier. For a single season, if I remember correctly, supplying the Larousse squad. I believe Aguri Suzuki - team principal of Super Aguri - was one of their drivers. Actually, Porsche was in F1 as an engine supplier back in the day. Footwork Porsche was the team name.

It's almost unimaginable that any fan of F1 wouldn't be a fan of Ferrari, if not their favorite team. As you mentioned, Ferrari has a pedigree that almost no other team/brand has, and not just in F1. There's a pretty good commercial running lately that shows all the various Porsche race/production cars driving across a sand bed. There's even a flash of the Flying Lizard toward the end. I think it'd be interesting to see Porsche in F1, but for now I'm content with being a part of the GT battle between Ferrari and Porsche in American Le Mans. The two greatest makes in history... My allegiance? Red. Agreed. It’s almost unimaginable that any fan of F1 wouldn’t be a fan of Ferrari, if not their favorite team.
