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

As people pointed out, there is the visibility part.
There is also the design part. Centered seat means centered commands too.
On a front engined, front wheel car, this is already a problem: there is the engine where you want to fit the steering column.
On a front engined, rear wheel drive, you would be sitting on the gearbox, and there is the engine here too.
Driving in the middle is only really possible when the engine is in the rear.
