Walked into my local Choices today to try and get the news on the game and was told it was not coming out on the PS2 and would only be coming out on PSP on the 28th of July.
I can only assume he must have made a mistake, as I'm sure it is coming out on PS2, but I'm a little worried now quite frankly!

game comes out July 28th, though they have removed the online from 06, from people who already have the game it is appently a million times better and harder, (impossible to win in a Super Aguri on Hard mode) There is a formation lap that you can drive, the dame model is excellent this year, alot more realistic, and the new Qualifying system is said to be fantastic, i will post a review 2moz nite after i have spent 2moz on it for anyone thinking of buying it

I bought it this morning and have been playing on it for about an hour, in Career Mode.
First impressions:
-The handling is VERY different to F1 05. It's much easier to lock up wheels so you have to be quite conservative on the brakes, and also the analog controls are more sensitive.
-The difficulty level is immense compared to F1 05. On Hard in Career Mode, I missed out on any kind of seat with Toro Rosso by five seconds over one lap (it was in the rain, but still). I've managed to get a test driver position with Midland, but it took a hell of a lot of effort. I had ten laps to beat a target of 1:17.5 at Magny-Cours. Of those ten laps, only three were better than the target time. So it is very difficult, which is definitely a good thing.
-The kerbs are very realistic, as it said in the preview they are modelled as in reality so you can bounce all over them and go off. I went off at the last chicane at Magny-Cours quite a few times.
So far, F1 06 is looking to be a very good game. It's only £29.99 too.

Indeed, you do need to be smooth as you can't throw the car all over the place as in F1 05.
JA will be trying to sneak in references to the game in his TV commentary now!
