Dreadful I played it for a couple hours on Wednesday and haven't touched it since. Awful FPS.

That's why I play as Virgin, it's fantastic! DRS and KERS on a virgin car!
Pfft. You lack discipline!
I'm playing it on 360 and having no problem with frame-rate. Was perfect. Just raced Monaco and didn't notice any problems. Graphics are amazing.
It is much more realistic. The top teams are way faster. Although I do agree with the person who said it's too easy to take places on the start / first corner. It's as if AI doesn't use KERS at the start.
KERS and DRS is very cool. You even get random failures of DRS and KERS. Which is cool and annoying
It takes a lot to get a penalty. I smashed into Vettel on the Spanish GP after mistiming my braking, didn't get a single penalty.
There are no press-conferences which is annoying. Loading times are longer.
Handling is just amazingggg!! So much better, takes a long time to get used to.
Best finish I have had is 5th and that's on Professional AI. It's very very hard to win and much more realistic. I'm playing with Force India.
Also the tyres, you really feel the different between temperatures.
There is great attention to detail.

That sounds very promising! Are many people getting this for Playstation 3? I loved the last game and didn't get chance to play it much as I bought it on PC, from what I can remember the online was a blast so it'd be great to have some people to race with. 
Not sure it's a bug with the AI but I managed to put a HRT on pole @ Malaysia, professional difficulty. What makes it weirder is that I hate the track and had just struggled to a 13th place finish @ Australia (one of my favourite tracks!)
Hope this isn't another bugfest

Wouldn't say graphics are brilliant...they aren't awful but somehow 2010 just feels more 'right'.
Handling is different..no gripes really other than how do I know its truly realistic if I've never driven an f1 car
Frame rate is a bit poo, as are pit garage graphics...hopefully the fun factor with friends/online will make the whole thing worthwhile.

Installed my copy today and it loads in Windowed mode.
How the hell do I get it to load full screen?? I've not changed any settings as it's loaded like this from the start.
My system is as follows:
i7 920 @ Stock
6 GB ram
5850 @ Stock - x2 (set to single card mode as I am already aware of the CrossFire issue) - Cat 11.5
1920x1200 16:10
Win 7 64bit

alt and enter at the same time
360 version seems to have no fps issues for me, very smooth and not noticed any drops, have the game installed if it makes any difference
loving the build up of marbles off the racing line as the race goes on, pain when you go into them though, very nice touch

That works when I have the game already loaded.
Is there anyway to get it to load full screen from the start?

I bought both again. Glad I did to get to grips with it before the PC version is ready. I think the graphics are great on the console version. Sure it's not 1080 crispness but it's good enough.
Best of all 2011 doesn't look like it lacks contrast like 2010.
Played a little last night as it arrived yesterday and it's near impossible with a 360 pad. I could play 2010 fine but now it seems like the steering is more sensitive and too easy to hard lock thus spin the car :/
Trying to find a decent, not too expensive wheel is hard.
