That's weird.
Have you ever noticed the same problem with another game ? Or demo ? Is there any config files inside F1's folder ? Try deleting them and launch it again.
By the way, this is a good starting point in finding out what's going on :

Take a look, since this is a brand new game someone from the Dev team will definitely help you. Or Steam's Forums.
