Eli5 why driving on one side of a car is more practical than driving in the middle of one. Surely, the middle gives you better spacial awareness but things like the Monza SP1 exist and you still sit on one side of the vehicle

Special awareness is not a significant factor in car design. The driver sits on one side instead of the middle because that leaves room for a passenger and makes it much easier for people to get in and out of the car.

The Ferrari Monza SP1 looks like it does because it’s based on the normal, two-passenger SP2, just with a body panel stuck over the passenger seat space. It’s not built to be a single-seater.
