The Miami GP, typically known for its glamour, left fans reeling with disbelief as they faced the daunting prices for trackside catering.

Posts of outrage proliferated on social media, with attendees sharing photos of the food and the eyebrow-raising menus.

One Twitter user Peter McCormack, compared the event to the infamous Fyre Festival, commenting, '$42 Wagyu steak sandwich at Miami F1…Fyre festival vibes.'

Frustration wasn't solely directed at the disappointing quality of the $42 wagyu steak sandwich.
