According to the new rule 8-2-M(c), as I read it, you kicked the call.

ASA 8-2-M(c)
On any force out attempt from the foul side of first base, or an errant throw pulling the defense into foul ground, the defense and the batter-runner can use either the white or colored portion.

Since this was a force out attempt from the foul side, I'd say F1 got'er out. In the 2001 rules, the exception only applied to a thrown ball (pulling the defense into foul ground, or a throw from foul territory). This year, it applies to any force out attempt from the foul side.
