Miami Grand Prix Prices Spark Outrage With F1 Fans - "Fyre Festival Vibes"

F1 fans have been blasting the Miami GP event holders for the "outrageous" food prices.

The Miami Grand Prix has come to a close and the racing is not the only thing that fans have been reflecting on. 

F1 fans have been flooding social media exposing the food prices at the Miami Grand Prix weekend along with photos of the food not living up to the quality they had expected for the price. 

Taking to social media, one fan posted:

"$42 Wagyu steak sandwich at Miami F1… Fyre festival vibes"

Another fan posted a photo showing the prices in the hospitality area, which is worth noting is one of the more expensive areas with a more pricey ticket price.

One fan responded stating that the prices were outrageous. They wrote:

"I have so many questions but first, I need to see proof that somebody actually purchased something from this menu and what they got, because this is OUTRAGEOUS!!!"

A particularly hilarious response from another fan:

"Those $300 steamed buns better come with dancing cutlery, the password to Prince William’s email account, a gentle kiss on the forehead from the chem himself, and $290."

Someone else took it upon themselves to try and work out the mark-up on the food. They posted:

"For fun, I looked up the retail price of a Mo's Bundt Cakes. That's a sweet little 190% markup (and they probably got it at a better wholesale cost anyway so you could probably double that)"

Last year it was reported that a bottle of water in the general admission area of the track was $6, however, it has not been revealed what this cost this year. 

The next important F1 date is the 19-21st May for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Italy.
