The cockpit isn't really bonded directly to the floor in many ways. The cockpit, nose, engine, and gearbox together form the chassis. The floor is attached along the length of the plank to the engine and the base of the cockpit. The bulk of the attachment is really into the engine, with the T-tray being held up by the stay in front of the driver's bum.

aha ok so cockpit back to engine > engine to floor > and the floot to the T tray
but what about under the seat of the driver between his legs in isn't there some sort of connection too ?

Under the driver's legs there's only the bottom of the cockpit, some air, and then the T-tray. That's it.

The cockpit is known as the "tub". It's a the safety cell that encloses the driver and fuel tank. To the back of the tub is bolted the powertrain. The tub and drivetrain are loadbearing and directly carry the suspension loads and most of the aero loads too (front and rear wings).

The floor is a single piece that is bolted to specific attachment points on the tub and drivetrain. It too generates some aero loads and these are transmitted to the tub/drivetrain by way of the bolts.

Each team will have their own method and location of fixing the floor to the rest of the car.

ok but where exactly these point might be to fix the cockpit to the floor other than the splitter ? can it be under the driver's seat?
