The race is about many things. Mainly- a set of competitors are given a set of rules to compete under. Some competitors seem to be better at circumventing enforcement than others. Schmuacher over the years has done a lot of things to get ahead that have not been particularly fair. It's really not good for the sport - It makes it boring to watch and follow, which lowers the following, and hence lowers the value of the sponsorships that keep it alive. You ain't bankrolling an F1 entrance anytime soon (I'm guessing).

Lance Armstrong, from what I have seen is a very strong competitor and doesn't cheat. He works hard. I may be wrong, but from a meta-level, he doesn't have a rolling controversy following him like schumacher does.

Technology innovation, better driving techniques, reliability and consistency are what F1 should be about. Not corruption or cheating. I don't have the time or the inclination to back up all these claims, but the fact that I have this impression means a bunch of other like minded people also have it. This years F1 has been much more interesting than last years for me specifically becuase Schumacher looked like he wasn't going to win it. I like watching the races when they aren't dominated by one team. That's going to help the sport more than what appears to be going on right now.
