Personally it wouldnt bother me, but then i am not a fan of a manufacturer so to speak, much more interested in the individuals involved (not so much F1) but same could be said for MotoGp where i do have an interest, if my favourite riders jumped manufacturer, i would still follow them, not stick with the manufacturer.
Posses a very interesting conversation as i guess a lot of people will be manufacturer specific no matter who the driver, you only have to see all the Ferrari banners to realise there would be a lot of p8SSed off Ferrari fans leaving the sport if they left.
I dont think Ekona is far wrong though, its pretty much dead in the water, uninspiring engines, coverage, ridiculous grid penalties, ugly cars, premadonna drivers who act like petulant children, you only have to look back at the last few years of F1 chat year on year in here to see its not nearly as popular.
