How much does it cost to go to the Miami Grand Prix?
- Published
The Miami Grand Prix is one of the most expensive to go watch on the F1 calendar - just behind Las Vegas.
A ticket to Sunday's race will cost you between £262 (general admission) to £621 (grandstand seating) - although, there are, of course, pricier options.
"I have heard that Miami is expensive as a race. But Miami is expensive full stop. As is Las Vegas," said BBC F1 correspondent Andrew Benson.
If you'd like a pass for the full three-day package then prices range from £322 up to £1,384. For the Las Vegas Grand Prix, it ranges between £621 and £1,500.
McLaren have their own dedicated grandstand this year, a full weekend ticket to join the Papaya fans starts from £617.

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.
