It could be nothing - it could be the F1 lever itself a little loose - it could be the clutch on its way out - it could be the fluid pressure (as noted) - there's a great many 'it could be's at this stage - as you suggest giving it a little time is sensible unless you have a mega-tour planned in which case hooking it up at a dealer might be wisest

See how long the F1 pump runs for when you open the driver's door. If it's more than 7 or 8 seconds then your F1 pump might be on its way out.
