maybe mixing apples and oranges here, but thinking about all the various doping scandals in other sports, i do think that people do have a reasonable expectation that the sport they are following is governed on a fair and even playing field. once that impression is shaken its hard for that sport to recover (although historically F1 hasent seemed to be too fazed by accusations of favoritism
) . but yeah i do think 'impressions' are important for fans, the general public, and maybe more so for the commercial partners that really do provide the funding for F1 to take place.
