I thought F1 2010 came out last year?
I must be getting confused

Nope, your thinking of F1 2009, released end of last year after the 2009 Formula 1 season had finished. Codemasters might be the only publisher that releases annual titles in the same year (ie 2009 in 2009), which could contribute to why the series doesnt sell brilliantly. Believe F1 2010 is due to come out near the end of the season aswell, wouldnt it make more sense to release it at the start?

You have a more accurate depiction of the tracks and each teams strengths and weaknesses by releasing later which means that you get a more realistic game.

Maybe, but compare the sales of Formula 1 2009 to something like Fifa 09 or Fifa 10, which release at the start of their sporting season. At this point in the calendar, there are more fans around who will be willing to by the game than at the end of there year, when the hype has long since died and fans have waiting for next years season.
It makes better sense for the company to release at the start of the year, that way they could sell more to a larger audience and give them more incentive to keep the series going.
