As the Final practice of the Canadian Grand Prix started, we witnessed Carlos Sainz’s crash in the Ferrari. Carlos Sainz was at high speed into Turn 1 when he lost control and the car tilted and skid off tracks.
Sainz crashed front first into the TechPro barriers and ended up damaging the nose of the car and then the rear of the car. This crash gave fans a peek at the floor of SF23. Recently, everyone got the chance to peak at Red Bull’s RB19 floor and Mercedes’ new upgrades when their cars were lifted in Monaco GP.
The floor of Carlos Sainz’s SF23 leaves fans unimpressed
When Ferrari’s SF23 was lifted and the images of the floor of the car started circulating, people were very quick to voice their opinions on it. And the opinions weren’t as great as the RB19 floor received. Recently when the RB19 floor was on display fans said that other teams should just copy the RB19 floor.
Tweets started flooding in with some saying that nobody wants to see that floor or copy it. A fan even went as far as to call it a clown car by commenting, “No need to copy, it’s a clown car.”
No need to copy. It’s a clown car

Fred Vasseur, however, stated “I think we all have a lot of pictures of other cars.” then he mentioned the comments that people had been making saying, “It’s not easy to copy something because it is a global concept so we can’t copy just one part of the car.” (via PlanetF1)
Despite the Scuderia Ferrari team’s principal talking about the floor, fans were not happy about the basic floor that Ferrari had on their SF23 car. After a tweet was made about the floor, fans were quick to talk and state their opinions on the floor of the car.
Nobody is copying that floor 🤣

With a lot of them being unimpressed, some stated that Ferrari, even after having a good budget could not have a better floor to the car. Many were quick to talk about how even after having a huge budget, they had the floor of William’s car, who don’t have the budget to have a better floor.
While fans have not been exceptionally happy about the results that Ferrari has been bringing in and the upgrades that they have been bringing to the car, Ferrari still saw a good result ending at the Canadian Grand Prix with Charles Leclerc finishing P4 and Carlos Sainz finishing P5.
