Floor
플로어
The floor, also known as the undertray, is a wide section of bodywork positioned at the very bottom of the race car, serving as the base of the chassis. It is an aerodynamically critical component, and with the 2022 regulation changes reintroducing ground effect, its design has become even more significant.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the floor so important in F1?
It uses the airflow beneath the car to generate a large amount of downforce, making it one of the key aerodynamic components of a modern F1 car.
Can floor damage significantly reduce performance?
Yes. Even relatively small damage can disturb the airflow under the car and cause a major loss of downforce and vehicle balance.
