Honda and Red Bull Racing will have their fiftieth race weekend together at Spa-Francorchamps. To celebrate this the team published a video in which Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez get Japanese lessons from none other than Yuki Tsunoda.

"This weekend we celebrate Honda's 50th race with the team," Verstappen heralds the video. "With the news that we won't be racing in Japan this season, we'll still bring you a bit of Japanese culture by learning some useful sayings in Japanese."

He continued the message from Honda: "For that we do need someone who can teach us Japanese, and fortunately we have a special person who will help us with that." Pérez, meanwhile, wonders where the instructor is, but then we see Tsunoda arriving on his bike from Eau Rouge.

The AlphaTauri driver then teaches his colleagues some handy Japanese pronunciations, something that obviously doesn't come too easily to them.
