Despite historically a rivalry, Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup usually utilizing Mercedes-AMG vehicles in every race weekends

The Mercedes-AMG Safety Car in a Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup race.

Porsche and Mercedes-Benz AMG historically are a fierce rivalry but Mercedes-AMG vehicles usually supplying a courtesy vehicles such as Safety Cars, Medical Cars and other course cars due to Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup is a de facto Formula 1 support race tournament.

Sadly no Porsche vehicles supplying Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup courtesy vehicles at the moment.

Porsche is free to offer their services to the FIA the next time the FIA tender for the provision of safety and medical cars. A Porsche Panamera safety car / Cayenne medical car combo could work well.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Panamera? Why not Cayman or 911 Turbo as Safety Cars?

Panamera Turbo S E-hybrid. 700bhp and fits in with the hybrid direction of F1.

The 911 Turbo doesn't fit that image.

Edit: thinking further, the Panamera could do both the safety car role and the medical car role. The current medical car is just a Merc coupe so the Panamera would be no worse.
