“It’s definitely too expensive,” a woman shocked at the price of sushi told News.com.au.
One piece of fresh salmon and avocado sushi cost $9.50.

Others decided it was too much and brought a packed lunch.
“We brought our own food. It’s too expensive. I don’t even think I’ve actually looked at the prices.”
After the final race, a reporter for News.com.au said chaos took over with fans ripping down signs to take home as souvenirs.
The fans told the reporter they were getting their money’s worth after forking out for the expensive tickets, lunch, and drinks.
A beer cost about $15.50 while a bottle of water was $7.
That meant a couple getting burgers and drinks could pay $95.
Another group took to social media to complain, claiming seats in a reserved area were oversold and they were forced to sit on the grass.
“Bit of a ripoff at @ausgp sold tickets in the Clubroom,” said Paul O’Connor on Instagram.
“@ausgp oversold the place and we can’t get in the stands. Security wouldn’t originally let us have chairs on the outside grass.”
A single ticket for the Sunday race in the Clubhouse was $1012, reported the Irish Sun.
New Zealand driver Liam Lawson was not happy about the event either, but not over the price of a burger.
A regulation change this season gave Lawson car troubles. The new cars have a 50-50 split between electric and combustion engine power.
Even world champion Lando Norris said this year’s cars “suck” and “we have gone from the best cars ever made to the worst”.
Lawson placed 13th.
