Ahead of the weekend, F1 photographer Kym Illman has posted a video on his social media page revealing the prices of food and drinks inside the event.
The Australian began: "What are you going to pay for food at the Miami Grand Prix? Well, you can get a pizza for $16 or $18. A couple of pastas for $25. $23 for fried calamari.
"If you want a water, $6, a beer, budget $13. And remember, that's not the end price because you've got to add tax on top."
Illman continued: "If sushi is more your thing, hand rolls for $6 to $18. Mexican food lovers, you'll get two tacos for $18 or nachos for $19.
"If you fancy a glass of bubbly, you'll get Piper-Heidsieck for $27 a glass or a bottle for $130 plus tax."
Reacting in the comments section, one fan said: "Welcome to Miami."
Another wrote: "Pasta for 25 dollars should be illegal."
A third fan added: "Welcome to F1 snacks and beverages!"
Someone else simply said: "Outrageous."
A fifth commented: "You’ve got to be a billionaire to attend a F1 race. Honestly, it’s a shame for the sport that celebrities with no F1 love attend races for free and the normal F1 enjoyers and passionates cannot."
Another fan said: "Two tacos for $18 is an absolute disgrace."
After winning in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, McLaren star Oscar Piastri will look to make it a hat-trick of wins in Miami.
However, he will face tough competition from the likes of teammate Lando Norris, Mercedes star George Russell and reigning world champion Max Verstappen.
