Photos of the menus posted to social media by disgruntled fans showed the incredible prices of snacks.
While a plate of nachos will set you back $180, an 'F1 platter' is even more expensive at $290.
The F1 platter consists of 'secret sauce' on a ribeye quesadilla with crispy chicken, chipotle and mustard.
For any fans wanting to splash out, caviar will cost $400.

The news is even worse for anybody wanting a drink to cool off in the hot weather.
A water is $25 and a bucket of five beers is at least $45.
Champagne? Anyone with the money can spend up to $3,600 on a bottle.
If you think that’s bad, look at the prices from last year’s Miami Grand Prix. pic.twitter.com/Bk8OFIJNSd

Yet, staggeringly, it has been pointed out that the prices are actually a significant decrease on last year.
In 2023, steamed buns were $300 but are now only $120!
Nachos have come down from $275 to a mere $180!
For the celebrities in attendance at the Miami Grand Prix these sky-high prices may not be a big deal.
But for the everyday fan? Let's hope they brought a packed lunch.
