FORMULA ONE fans at the Miami Grand Prix are facing a huge dent in their wallets after the prices of food and drink at the circuit were revealed.
Miami is welcoming F1 fans from around the world for the fourth season in a row after its initial introduction on to the race calendar in 2021.

While the track which surrounds the Hard Rock Stadium - home of the Miami Dolphins - is not a favourite among drivers, fans are treated to the Coachella of F1.
And like the UK festival, the price of refreshments and scran are quite the tough pill to swallow.
F1 photographer, Kym Illman, revealed the remarkable price for goods at the circuit, which is the first of three visits to the United States for the motorsport in 2025.
Taking to his social media page, Illman showed off the crazy price of a number of items including beer, bottled water, pizza and nachos BEFORE tax.
The video starts off with Illman outside of a food stand selling Italian cuisine.
He reveals a pizza will cost fans between $16-$18 (£12-£14) and pasta will cost $25 (£19), reports from other outlets report other pizza stands hiking prices as high as $29 (£22) for a chicken pizza and $22 (£16.50) for a cheese pizza.
If you fancy some fried calamari it would set you back a $23 (£17), while sushi costs between $6-$18 (£4.50-£13.50), tacos cost $18 and nachos cost $19 (£14.30).
Meanwhile, a "budget option" turkey sandwich comes in at $18 while fans are charged $30 (£22) for a steak sandwich, $24 (£18) for a Chicken Royale with cheese or $14 (£10.50) for an Ultimate Game Day hot dog.
Fries are an extra $6 (£4.50)
Vendors are also squeezing fan budgets with drink prices.

Beer prices work out at around $13 (£10) for a Heineken, while a local brand is marginally cheaper at $12 (£9).
A more lavish Strawberry Daiquiri or Frozen Margarita will cost a cool $20 (£15).
Meanwhile, a glass of Bubbly will cost $27 (£20) with a bottle coming out to $130 (£98).
Bottled water is also far from wallet friendly at $6 a pop.
These extraordinary prices are here to stay in F1 after it was announced on Friday that the track's contract had been extended to 2041, making it the longest contracted circuit on the calendar.
This season has seen Miami host a Sprint Race once again, with Lando Norris profiting from a Safety Car in a thrilling wet to dry race which saw three drivers crash out and four others hit with time penalties.
Lewis Hamilton enjoyed a strong race after a brilliant strategy call to change to slick tyres which got him up to P3 before he suffered a disaster in qualifying later on.
Max Verstappen scored pole position for Sunday's race in the session a day after he announced the birth of his baby daughter, Lily, with Kelly Piquet.

Two Serie A Scotland stars tipped for moves as £12m price-tag slapped on title winner

Two of Scottish football's Italian contingent could be set for moves this summer in what could be a busy transfer window for Scots abroad. It was a hugely successful season for a number of Scottish players in Italy, with Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour winning Serie A with Napoli and Lewis Ferguson lifting the Coppa Italia with Bologna. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad However, down in the second tier of Italian football, there was another Scottish success story - with left-back Josh Doig playing a big part in Sassuolo winning Serie B and earning immediate promotion back to the top flight. Josh Doig helped Sassuolo win promotion back to Serie A this season. | Getty Images Doig has been a regular for Sassuolo this season after joining them from Hellas Verona 18 months ago, and now the 23-year-old is being linked with a move to Juventus. According to reports in Italy, new Juve manager Igor Tudor's transfer priority is new wing-backs and the Croatian coach has been impressed by Doig's development since moving to Italy from Hibs three years ago. Doig is currently with the Scotland squad ahead of their friendly away to Liechtenstein on Monday night and could win his first cap if selected in Vaduz. But his form with Sassuolo, where he has been one of their chief attacking outlets down the left flank, has caught the eye of Tudor, who is expected to play a 3-5-2 formation at Juventus next season. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Doig's price-tag He has also been linked with Bologna wing-back Dan Ddoye, who is also on international duty right now with Switzerland. And if Tudor was to launch a bid for Doig, it could cost Juventus upwards of £12 million to land him, as he contracted to Sassuolo until 2028. Doig came through the youth ranks at Hibs and was part of the team under Jack Ross that finished third in the Premiership during the 2020/21 campaign. He was sold to Verona in the summer of 2022 and then moved on Sassuolo, although he nearly signed for Marseille in France before the transfer fell apart at the last minute. Another former Hibs player could be on the move in Italy, with midfielder Liam Henderson weighing up his future after his contract at Empoli expired last month. A Celtic academy graduate, Henderson was part of the Hibs team that won the Scottish Cup in 2016. He made the move to Italy in 2018 with Bari and has remained there ever since, playing for Verona, Lecce, Palermo and Empoli. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Liam Henderson was relegated with Empoli. | Getty Images The Tuscan side were relegated to Serie B on the final day of last season, a sad end to Henderson's four years at the Stadio Carlo Castellani. It now appears, though, that the 29-year-old could be on his way back to British football. It has been reported that English Championship side Bristol City are weighing up a move for the out-of-contract deep-lying midfielder. Swansea City had also been suggested as a potential suitor, but cold water has been poured on that link by Welsh media outlets.

Arvid Lindblad, 17, gets F1 exemption after Red Bull request
June 10 - The FIA has granted a Formula 1 super license to Red Bull Junior racer Arvid Lindblad prior to his 18th birthday. The move comes following a request from his team for Lindblad, who will turn 18 on Aug. 8. Eighteen is the age traditionally required to hold a super license, however adjustments were made to the FIA International Sporting Code last year. The following line was added to the code: "At the sole discretion of the FIA, a driver judged to have recently and consistently demonstrated outstanding ability and maturity in single-seater formula car competition may be granted a super license at the age of 17 years old." The FIA announced Lindblad's new status following a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council in Macau, China. "After considering the information presented in support of this request, the World Council found that the driver has recently and consistently demonstrated outstanding ability and maturity in single-seater formula car competition and therefore approved the request," a statement said. Lindblad now is eligible to compete in an F1 race weekend. Red Bull currently has four drivers under contract in F1. Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda are part of the senior team, while Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson compete for the junior team. --Field Level Media
