Revealed: The shocking price F1 fans pay for a beer at the Miami Grand Prix – Can you afford it?

Formula One fans attending the Miami Grand Prix were left shocked this weekend by the eye-watering cost of refreshments at the Hard Rock Stadium, with the price of beer alone sparking widespread disbelief.Now in its fourth year on the F1 calendar, the Miami Grand Prix has gained a reputation for blending elite motorsport with festival-style glamour, often compared to “F1’s answer to Coachella.” But just like a big-name music festival, fans are paying premium prices especially when it comes to food and drink.A receipt shared by Mail Sport's Jonathan McEvoy showed two 16oz Heineken beers being sold for $13 each, before tax and tip. A single Heineken Silver cost $13, but with $3.12 in taxes and a $4.21 tip added, three beers ended up costing a hefty $46.33.The pricing has drawn widespread criticism online, with many fans calling the costs “staggering” and “out of touch,” especially as heat and long lines make drinks a must-have during race weekend.Among the notable faces spotted in the paddock was British boxer Conor Benn, who made an appearance just one week after his defeat to Chris Eubank Jr. Also in attendance were Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, comedian Jack Whitehall, and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.On the track, Max Verstappen continued his dominant form by taking pole position in Miami. The Dutchman edged out McLaren’s Lando Norris by just six-hundredths of a second in qualifying — a feat he achieved only days after becoming a father.“Becoming a dad has not slowed me down,” Verstappen said after his session. “I never listened to these silly things. I just do my thing. There have been enough drivers who have been champions after becoming dads. I don’t know where the idea comes from.”
