What's on the menu in Miami?
"Well you are in Miami," is what the BBC Sport F1 commentary team were told last year when they mentioned the cost of meals at a restaurant. A social media post of a menu went viral because the pricing had fans outraged.Miami Grand Prix chief executive Tom Garfinkel defended it. He said: "We're just trying to provide options across that spectrum."Sometimes people are going to point one thing out and say 'that's really expensive' without providing the context that it's actually a lobster roll for a suite for 10 people."There are inexpensive options as well as that, which is important to us."The menu was from the Hard Rock Beach Club, where access for a party of 10 cost almost £50,000 with a minimum spend of £22,500. Food prices included £142 for a fruit pot and £209 for a lobster roll, each dish served four people.The exclusive club has trackside viewing, multiple bars, a pool and past performances from big name musicians like Ed Sheeran, Jonas Brothers and Post Malone.Fortunately for fans, there are more modest places to dine, an image shared at a stall showed pizza being sold for around £2.50 and pasta £8.This article is the latest from BBC Sport's Ask Me Anything team.

Scotland will hope to bounce back from a difficult night against Iceland when they travel to Liechtenstein for the second part of a friendly double header on Monday. Steve Clarke's men hoped to take the first steps to moving on from their Nations League play-off defeat against Greece earlier this year when they faced Iceland at Hampden Park on Friday. However, a laboured display was duly punished by the visitors as a Lewis Ferguson own goal and a goal in each half from Andri Gudhjohnsen and Victor Palsson gave them a 3-1 win. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad A poor performance from goalkeeper Cieran Slicker dominated the headlines after the game - but in reality, Clarke's men got what they deserved from a game that posed more questions than provided answers. All thoughts now turn towards Monday's visit to Liechtenstein as Scotland prepare to take on a side that are sat between the Bahamas and Turks & Caicos Islands at 205th place in the official FIFA World rankings. Here is everything you need to know as Clarke's side look to avoid a third consecutive defeat. What has Steve Clarke said ahead of Liechtenstein v Scotland? Speaking to BBC Sport after Friday's defeat, Clarke said: 'I'm not so sure it was too much to do with the shape, we just looked a little bit flat at times, even when we back into the game we always looked a little bit flat. We made their goalkeeper work a few times, he made some good saves on the night. On another night, maybe you get those finishes and it's a different story. We will go away and look at the video but then in two days time we go to Liechtenstein and we have to get ready for that with hopefully a better result and a better performance. A win would be nice and if you get an improved performance you should get the win.' Where and when does Liechtenstein v Scotland get underway? Getty Images The friendly between Liechtenstein v Scotland takes place on Monday, June 9 at the Rheinpark Stadium, Vaduz. Kick-off is at 6pm local time, 5pm GMT.

For those not able to travel to Liechtenstein, there will be live coverage of the game provided by BBC Sportscene. Their broadcast will get underway at 4.30pm on Monday, half of an hour before kick-off. The game will be available on BBC One Scotland and via the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website.

‘I heard it snap' – Speedway star Tai Woffinden opens up on life-threatening crash and coma that was ‘worst thing ever'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LYING on the track in a tangled mess, Tai Woffinden admits the last thing he remembers is people crying at the extent of his injuries. The five-times world champion blacked out minutes after the horror crash where he sustained over 15 BROKEN BONES following a high-speed pile-up in Krosno, Poland in late March. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Tai Woffinden spent days in a medically induced coma 4 He is ahead of schedule in his rebah 4 The Speedway icon broke 15 bones in a horror crash Credit: Taylor Lanning 4 His partner Faye rushed to Poland to be by his side in hospital Great Britain ace Woffy, 34, was given an emergency helicopter airlift to hospital as fears grew over his survival because of chest injuries and a huge loss of blood. He was then put in a medically induced coma after three lengthy major operations. But two months after fighting for his life, Woffinden is now walking and eight weeks ahead in his gruelling recovery plan in rehab. In his first interview since the incident, he reveals how he heard the femur bone in his leg snap on impact and that the first people on the scene were in tears on seeing his condition because his arms were 'pointing in the wrong direction'. READ MORE IN SPORT VA VA ROOM Hilton unveil £1,800-a-night McLaren hotel suite with F1 simulator and bar He admitted: 'I remember everything. In the race that I crashed I made a pretty decent start, so I blipped the throttle a little bit coming into the corner. 'The junior rider off gate one drove over the kerb, ran into the guy that was off gate two, who then collected me. 'As I got collected, as you normally do, you drop it on the side and slide towards the fence. And then while sliding across the track, my bike hit the APD (airfence) first, which lifted it up probably about a metre. 'And the moment I saw that lift, I just went, 'oh f***'. And then I hit the fence, I heard my femur snap. 'It's almost like if you're underwater and you snap a tree branch. 'I then was laid on the track. I remember looking up and seeing everybody around me. The team manager's face looked like he had seen a ghost. Tai Woffinden walks for first time after coma as Speedway star reveals horror list of injuries after terrifying crash 'One person was crying looking at my body. My arms were pointing all in the wrong direction. My left shoulder was dislocated, pointing upwards. 'My right humerus was shattered at the bottom. My elbow was dislocated and my elbow was broken. 'I actually couldn't see my hands when I was laying on the track because they were both pointing up. 'So I'm sat there saying, 'give me some meds'. I was saying 'bol, bol, bol' which means pain in Polish just to make sure they knew what I was talking about. 'I don't know if I passed out from the amount of Fentanyl they'd given me or the amount of blood that I'd lost.' Woffinden, Britain's greatest-ever rider, had a double compound right femur fracture, broken back, right humerus compound fracture, dislocated and smashed right elbow, 12 broken ribs,punctured lung, left broken shoulder blade and dislocated left shoulder. He added: 'I remember the blades of the helicopter, the noise of it starting to take off. And then the next thing, I'm in a coma. 'There were so many injuries, I probably wouldn't have been able to be awake and deal with the injuries. One of the operations was 12 hours long and I had multiple blood transfusions. 'I thought a coma would have been a pleasant sleep. It was quite the opposite. It was the worst thing I'd ever experienced. It was quite scary at times. I was on sedatives and painkillers and antibiotics. 'I was hallucinating, I was dreaming and having nightmares. Normally you have a nightmare and you wake up. Well, I couldn't wake up. 'I dealt with some wild s***. I woke up from the coma, and everything that I'd dreamt, I believed it was real. And my wife Faye was like, 'mate, that didn't happen'. I was getting angry with Faye because she wasn't believing me.' Woffinden refused to be drawn on what the future holds in speedway, his only focus is on full recovery from the huge toll of injuries. He added: 'There's so many variables. We need to give it that extra month to heal and then have the CT scan so we can really see what's going on from all different angles. 'I might need another operation on my humerus in my arm because it was shattered in 27 places. If the metalwork hasn't helped it knit together, I'll need another op. 'I've done everything I possibly can. I've done four to five hours a day in rehab since I left the hospital. My progress is on another level. 'It's ridiculous. Where I'm at given the injuries is f*****g phenomenal. 'I would like to ride my bike again, whether that's competitive or not or just practice, who knows? 'But I just make micro personal goals to keep reaching. Only my recovery comes first.'
