You've been greatly miss-informed, try watching the Hungarian GP last weekend and you'll see what proper racing is about
When I saw the movie "Driven" with Sly Stallone I thought theres no way race teams and drivers would do this, no way a driver would back off or purposely slow down and block other cars for his teammate when he had a chance to win. Then I saw several interviews with current and former F1 drivers and they said "YES" this does go on. They dont like it but when you are all but threatened with being fired and losing your ride you either play ball or never race again. So if I was "miss-informed" then it was the F1 drivers telling lies, who am I going to believe? I think the drivers were telling the truth.
