If you right click on the F1_2011.exe file and select properties, under the 'details' tab the product and file version is 1.0.0.0 for a fresh install (un-patched). This changes to product & file version 1.2.0.0 for Patch 2. So you are fairly safe to assume that Patch 1.1 is 1.1.0.0.
I can't say that I know about any cockpit view change, because I use a modified cockpit view, with a modified FOV, 55 degrees to the front & 85 degrees to the rear, and a reasonably subtle 'look to apex' effect
