Formula One fans have been left stunned at the prices of beers at the Miami Grand Prix.
Miami is hosting Formula One fans for the fourth consecutive year, having first joined the Grand Prix calendar back in 2021.
The circuit winding around the Hard Rock Stadium – home of the NFL’s Dolphins – may not win over every driver, but for fans, it’s a spectacle likened to F1’s answer to Coachella.
But much like those big-name events, grabbing a drink or bite to eat comes with a serious price tag.
A receipt obtained by Mail Sport’s Jonathan McEvoy has revealed the steep cost of refreshments.
Supporters hoping to cool off with a cold beer will be met with staggering costs, with two 16oz Heinekens setting punters back $26 — that’s $13 each, and that’s before tax and tip.

Even those opting for a single 16oz Heineken Silver weren’t spared, facing the same $13 price tag, with a further $3.12 in tax and a $4.21 tip added to the bill – bringing the total to a wallet-emptying $46.33 for just three beers.
