This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I was pleasantly surprised by the race this year. Like, cheesiness of the showmanship aside, the racing itself was highly entertaining. Especially if you ignore Verstappen and focus on the rest of the grid.
Speaking honestly, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I still think it's not a very interesting track layout though.
Yeah I get that. Still better than Barcelona and less predictable than Monaco's been lately.
pretty awesome that it shows the underwater terrain beneath the atolls as well, and you're right, they both look like awesome tracks to drive
Didn't the Marshall Island got nuked a couple of decades ago?
Yeah, the Bikini Atoll was a testing ground for nukes, but that's not the reason they are strangely hollow outlines of islands.
As far as I understand it, it's because there were islands formed from underwater volcanic eruptions, but over time the inner islands sunk and eroded away and what makes up the island today are actually the surfaced parts of the once surrounding coral reef.
I think I made this I Halo Reach forge mode...
