HAKIM DANISH SASAR KEBANGKITAN DI ARAGON

🇲🇾 SILVERSTONE, UNITED KINGDOM | 11 Ogos 2026 – Pelumba berbakat negara, Hakim Danish, terpaksa melupakan hasrat untuk meneruskan kutipan mata pada Grand Prix (GP) Britain selepas terjatuh ketika perlumbaan Moto3 di Litar Silverstone, hari ini.
Pelumba AEON Credit-MT Helmets-MSi itu memulakan perlumbaan dari petak kesembilan sebelum turun ke kedudukan ke-12 pada pusingan pertama. Bagaimanapun, Hakim Danish berjaya meningkatkan rentaknya dan bangkit untuk memintas beberapa pelumba sebelum naik ke kedudukan kelapan serta kembali bersaing dalam kelompok hadapan.

Namun, ketika perlumbaan memasuki pusingan kelima, pelumba kelahiran Terengganu itu terbabit dalam insiden di selekoh 16-17.

Pelumba Ireland, Casey O’Gorman (SIC58 Squadra Corse) yang menunggang jentera Honda, terlibat dalam insiden dengan pelumba Sepanyol, Adrian Cruces (CIP Green Power) sehingga menyebabkan Cruces terjatuh. Hakim Danish yang berada berhampiran kemudian terpaksa mengelak untuk mengelakkan pelanggaran.

Bagaimanapun, usaha Hakim untuk mengelak insiden tersebut menyebabkan motosikalnya terkeluar daripada laluan perlumbaan sebelum dia turut terjatuh di selekoh 17. Susulan insiden berkenaan, O’Gorman kemudiannya dikenakan Long Lap Penalty kerana menyebabkan kemalangan tersebut.

Sebelum perlumbaan, Hakim Danish terlebih dahulu mencuri perhatian dalam sesi kelayakan apabila mencatat masa 2 minit 9.977 saat untuk mengesahkan petak kesembilan, sekali gus menunjukkan peningkatan positif selepas permulaan hujung minggu yang agak mencabar.

Pengarah ZK Racing, Zulfahmi Khairuddin, berkata keputusan di Silverstone tidak menggambarkan potensi sebenar Hakim Danish selepas pelumba itu berjaya bangkit dan menunjukkan prestasi kompetitif sepanjang hujung minggu.

Menurutnya, pasukan akan menggunakan pengalaman di Silverstone sebagai input penting untuk melakukan penambahbaikan pada jentera, selain memastikan Hakim Danish dapat mengambil pengajaran daripada perlumbaan tersebut untuk kembali lebih kuat pada pusingan seterusnya di Aragon.

Kegagalan menamatkan perlumbaan di Silverstone menyaksikan Hakim Danish tidak menambah sebarang mata dan kekal di tangga kelapan Kejuaraan Dunia Moto3 dengan 86 mata.

Dalam kejuaraan Rookie of the Year 2026, Hakim Danish turut kekal di tempat ketiga dengan 86 mata, di belakang Brian Uriarte yang mengumpul 127 mata dan Veda Pratama dengan 97 mata.

🇬🇧 SILVERSTONE, UNITED KINGDOM | 11 August 2026 – Talented Malaysian rider Hakim Danish was forced to abandon his hopes of continuing his points-scoring run at the British Grand Prix after crashing during the Moto3 race at Silverstone Circuit today.
The AEON Credit-MT Helmets-MSi rider started the race from ninth on the grid before dropping to 12th position on the opening lap. However, Hakim Danish quickly found his pace and fought his way past several riders to move up to eighth, returning to the battle at the front of the field.

However, on Lap 5, the Terengganu-born rider was caught up in an incident at Turns 16-17.

Irish rider Casey O’Gorman (SIC58 Squadra Corse), riding a Honda, was involved in an incident with Spanish rider Adrian Cruces (CIP Green Power), which resulted in Cruces crashing. Hakim Danish, who was riding nearby, was forced to take evasive action to avoid the collision.

However, his attempt to avoid the incident saw his motorcycle run off the racing line before he also crashed at Turn 17. Following the incident, O’Gorman was subsequently handed a Long Lap Penalty for causing the crash.

Prior to the race, Hakim Danish had already caught attention during qualifying after posting a lap time of 2 minutes 9.977 seconds to secure ninth on the grid, marking a positive step forward after a challenging start to the weekend.

ZK Racing Director Zulfahmi Khairuddin said the result at Silverstone did not reflect Hakim Danish’s true potential, particularly after the rider managed to bounce back and demonstrate competitive pace throughout the weekend.

According to him, the team will use the experience gained at Silverstone as valuable input to make further improvements to the motorcycle, while ensuring Hakim Danish can learn from the race and return stronger at the next round in Aragon.

Failing to finish the race at Silverstone meant Hakim Danish did not add any points to his championship tally and remains eighth in the Moto3 World Championship standings with 86 points.

In the 2026 Rookie of the Year standings, Hakim Danish also remains third with 86 points, behind Brian Uriarte with 127 points and Veda Pratama with 97 points.

🇲🇾“Alhamdulillah, selepas kemalangan tadi saya tidak mengalami sebarang kecederaan. Dalam perlumbaan tadi, saya berasa sangat baik dengan jentera dan cukup yakin untuk bersaing dalam kelompok hadapan.

“Tetapi malangnya saya terjatuh kerana cuba mengelak pelumba lain yang terjatuh. Apa-apa pun, ada perkara positif yang boleh saya ambil daripada hujung minggu ini. Banyak perkara yang saya pelajari dan saya tidak sabar untuk menghadapi perlumbaan seterusnya di Aragon.

“Saya akan cuba melakukan yang terbaik dan meneruskan latihan untuk kembali lebih kuat pada perlumbaan seterusnya,”

🇬🇧 “Alhamdulillah, I did not suffer any injuries after the crash earlier. During the race, I felt very good on the bike and was confident that I could fight with the riders at the front.

“Unfortunately, I crashed while trying to avoid another rider who had fallen. Nevertheless, there are still many positives that I can take from this weekend. I learned a lot and I’m looking forward to the next race in Aragon.

“I will continue to give my best and keep working hard in training so I can come back stronger at the next race.”

🇲🇾 “Pada perlumbaan kali ini, kita dapat lihat nasib sememangnya tidak menyebelahi Hakim Danish apabila dia terlibat dalam kemalangan. Dua pelumba dari belakang turut melanggar motosikalnya, menyebabkan Hakim hilang kawalan sebelum terjatuh. Mujur, dia tidak mengalami sebarang kecederaan.
“Secara keseluruhannya, ini merupakan satu minggu yang kompetitif buat Hakim Danish. Walaupun bermula dengan agak sukar, dia berjaya bangkit dalam sesi kelayakan dan memberikan peningkatan yang positif untuk mengesahkan kedudukan kesembilan di petak permulaan.

“Dalam perlumbaan, pelbagai perkara boleh berlaku dan kami perlu menerima keputusan ini dengan matang. Yang penting, kami akan mengambil pengalaman daripada hujung minggu ini untuk terus melakukan penambahbaikan dan memastikan Hakim kekal kompetitif serta mampu memberikan saingan yang lebih kuat dalam perlumbaan-perlumbaan akan datang.”

🇬🇧 “In this race, it was clear that luck was not on Hakim Danish’s side as he was involved in a crash. Two riders coming from behind also collided with his motorcycle, causing Hakim to lose control before eventually crashing. Thankfully, he did not suffer any injuries.
“Overall, it was a competitive weekend for Hakim Danish. Although we had a difficult start, he managed to bounce back strongly in qualifying and showed positive progress to secure ninth on the starting grid.

“In racing, anything can happen, and we have to accept the result. What is important is that we take the experience from this weekend, continue making improvements, and ensure Hakim remains competitive and is able to put up an even stronger fight in the races to come.”
