Hi!
It also depends on the manufacture. Some games are just more stable then other games (or optimized for the PS3). Some games are asking more from the PS3 it's GPU then other games.
Does F1 installs on the HDD (partly)? Or does it completely run from the blu-ray? Otherwise an SSD can help! It saves loading times when installed on the HDD/SSD. I would go for a cheap SSD with like 120GB of space if you are using game discs. Otherwise 256GB should be OK. This because the PS3 is loading games from the disc most of the time.
This is probably the only thing you can do.
If you want you can upload a video regarding the issue.
