It is called a cockpit. It is the place where the driver is seated and drives the car. Because of the size constraints and aerodynamic considerations in a F1 car, the cockpit is designed to be as low as possible. The driver cannot enter the cockpit if the steering wheel is attached. So, the steering wheel is usually attached after the driver enters the cockpit and buckles himself up. The cockpit is designed using the best technology so that in case of a crash, the cockpit takes as much impact as possible and protects the driver to the fullest possible extent.
