R1 reached 2nd base without contact so OBS is not an issue. In any case the runner can only be protected if she runs the bases legally.
A collision has occurred so therefore we can only have 2 things:
1. Malicious contact: R1 declared out and ejected (3-6-18, Penalty; 8-6-14)
2. Interference: R1 out. I mentioned earlier that R1 must run the bases legally. She does not have to slide but if she elects not to she may not cause illegal contact on F6 who is still making a play (ie about to catch a thrown ball from F2 (see 8-6-13).
R1 is out in both cases so the rest of your hypothetical situation is immaterial.
