Schumacher makes first public appearance in 11 years

The Singlish quiz with the Ferrari boys

You probably haven't heard of the word 'Singlish.' Of course, it sounds like English and that's because it's the short term for Singapore English. Singlish is a mixture of English words with borrowed words from Malay, Hokkien, Cantonese, Mandarin, and other Chinese languages. What's interesting is that Sainz and Leclerc tested their knowledge of the language, and you'll definitely enjoy seeing how they did.
