Is it supposed to be good?
I know, talking to myself here. Maybe Andrew will chime in <g>

If you liked 2010 and wanted KERS and DRS then maybe worth the
pruchase. If you thought 2010 was awful then you won't likely be too
pleased.

These days I'm less of a chimer and more of a tinkler. Fortunately the incontinence
pants help.
Anyway, last year I caved in and paid full price for F1 2010. So as far as I'm
concerned, they owe me 2011 for free... and I probably still wouldn't play it.
Maybe they could give me the PS3 version instead. I might be able to get on with
the F1 circus gameplay then and ignore the dubious handling.
To be fair, it sounds like they've improved 2010 for 2011, but so far the people
I'm seeing enjoying 2011 are the same people who enjoyed 2010. So I remain firmly
in the "waiting to be somewhat disappointed by rF2" club rather than the "eager to
be very disappointed by F1 2012" camp.

The PS/3 version handles a lot worse than the PC one - at least with stock
controllers. Of the two, I much prefer the PC one. Have really enjoyed F1
2010, so will be getting 2011 at some point. I know the handling isn't the
best - but the experience it provides of being in an F1 season is pretty
good.

while, and until MW3 comes out I'm a bit bored with my current games.
It is not a serious sim, IMHO, its an arcade game, but ifs fun if you
like that sort of thing (I do, but only in short bursts!) Its very
similar to DiRT2 & 3 in style, menus, etc.
Career mode looks the most interesting, praccy sessions, qualy and full
races (or portions of races if you don't have the time, right down to 3
laps).
Car physics are ok, not the best, but certainly not the worst. You can
turn on/off abs, traction control, etc as you like. Driving the car
feels good, a bit twitchy (as you would expect a few fat F1 car to be).
I had a quick blast in the rain and it was a nightmare to drive, but
great fun (again, as you would expect an F1 car to be)
Graphics are pretty good quality, you have replays, various in car
views, nice scenery, in pit sequences, etc etc.
Car set-ups can be changed to suit, with a good list of available
tweaks, eg: brake bias, gear ratios, suspension, engine, fuel mix, aero,
tyres, etc
Can just a do a quick lap, or timed sessions, or ghost laps, there is
also split screen, LAN or full on-line options.
All current 2011 cars, teams, drivers and tracks are here, and you can
use KERS and DRS as well, you have to manage tyres, and you can even
turn on/off realistic mechanical failures, tyre wear, fuel effect, etc.
A nice distraction.....
