🇬🇧 Sepang, 24 October 2025 – Sepang, 24 October 2025, Malaysia’s young rider, Hakim Danish Ramli, created a sensation at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) after successfully advancing to Qualifying 2 (Q2) of the Moto3 Malaysian Grand Prix (GP) 2025, marking a historic moment in his debut appearance at the MotoGP World Championship stage.
The 18-year-old rider from Terengganu, representing the AEON Credit SIC Racing MSI team, delivered an impressive performance from the very first Free Practice (FP1) session, before showing even greater aggression and consistency during the afternoon session.
Adding to the excitement, Hakim also received full technical support from global powerhouse MT Helmets MSi, who assisted in fine-tuning his bike setup a move that clearly paid off at Sepang. As a result, the Terengganu born rider recorded a time of 2 minutes 11.820 seconds, placing him 11th fastest overall, and automatically securing a spot in Q2 among the elite riders of the world.

🇲🇾 “Jujur saya terharu untuk hari pertama ini. Saya nampak ramai sangat penonton di grandstand, tepi trek pun penuh. Itu memang beri semangat tambahan untuk saya, lagi-lagi bila berlumba di tanah air sendiri. Mengenai cabaran, sudah tentu berbeza. Di World Championship ini, semua pelumba sangat laju dan lebih konsisten. Dari segi jentera pun lain, lebih sensitif dan teknikal. Tapi Alhamdulillah, untuk hari pertama ini saya tak sangka boleh dapat keputusan macam ini. Saya terus cuba ‘push’ dan perbaiki diri setiap sesi. Saya memang seronok bawa jentera Moto3 ini di Sepang. Saya banyak fokus pada gaya tunggangan, memperbaiki braking point dan cara saya buka throttle bila keluar selekoh.
Dari segi teknikal pun, pasukan ada buat beberapa pelarasan untuk tingkatkan kestabilan motosikal. Mengenai barisan kru pula, mereka ini adalah orang yang sama dari JuniorGP yang datang ke Malaysia untuk bantu saya di Sepang. Jadi, dari segi komunikasi dan setup, semuanya berjalan lancar sebab mereka dah faham keperluan saya. Selepas ini, saya akan fokus kepada pace perlumbaan dan ketahanan fizikal saya untuk race simulation esok. Saya tak fikir sangat pasal petak permulaan. Esok saya cuma nak ‘full gas’ bagi yang terbaik di Q2 dan tengok di mana kedudukan saya nanti. Untuk minggu ini, cuaca memang sukar dijangka. Tadi pun hampir hujan masa latihan. Tapi apa pun saya dah bersedia untuk kedua-dua keadaan basah atau kering. Cuma kalau boleh, saya lebih suka dry, sebab saya boleh ‘push’ lebih banyak atas litar.”
🇬🇧 “Honestly, I’m really touched by how the first day went. I could see so many spectators in the grandstand, and the trackside was packed too. That really gave me extra motivation, especially racing on home ground. In terms of challenges, of course it’s very different. In the World Championship, all the riders are incredibly fast and much more consistent. The bike is also different more sensitive and technical. But Alhamdulillah, for the first day, I didn’t expect to achieve this kind of result. I just kept trying to push and improve myself in every session. I really enjoyed riding the Moto3 machine here at Sepang. I focused a lot on my riding style, improving my braking points, and how I open the throttle when exiting corners.
On the technical side, the team made a few adjustments to improve the bike’s stability. As for the crew, they’re the same people from the JuniorGP who came to Malaysia to support me here at Sepang. So, in terms of communication and setup, everything went smoothly because they already understand my needs. From here, I’ll be focusing on my race pace and physical endurance for tomorrow’s race simulation. I’m not thinking too much about the starting grid. Tomorrow, I just want to go full gas and give my best in Q2 to see where I end up.
For this week, the weather has been quite unpredictable. It almost rained during practice earlier. But either way, I’m ready for both wet and dry conditions. If possible, I prefer dry weather because I can push harder on the track.”
🇲🇾 “Secara jujurnya, saya memang agak gementar hari ini untuk debut pertama Hakim di World Championship. Tapi dengan persiapan yang rapi sejak awal tahun, kita nampak Hakim masuk ke FP1 bersedia untuk beri saingan kepada pelumba lain. Saya gembira kerana dia dapat uruskan semuanya dengan baik. Sudah tentu masih ada dua hari lagi qualifying dan race tetapi buat masa sekarang dia sudah melebihi apa yang kita sasarkan.
Ya, banyak perubahan telah dibuat pada setup jentera daripada sesi ujian sehingga race ini. Dengan bantuan pasukan MT yang datang untuk analisis data, kita dapat lihat Hakim lebih laju 0.8 saat berbanding ujian sebelum ini dengan setting baru. Hari ini pun pace dia semasa FP2 sangat bagus dan berjaya layak terus ke Q2. Ini adalah pengalaman pertama yang sangat baik dan bagi saya, lebih daripada itu adalah bonus. Itulah pentingnya ada pasukan yang hebat di belakang kita pasukan MT.
Mereka sentiasa berkongsi data dan maklumat terkini tentang motosikal dan setting terbaru. Dalam masa yang sama, melihat prestasi pelumba lain memberi info tambahan yang baik untuk Hakim. Sudah tentu setiap pelumba berbeza dari segi kemampuan dan setting, tetapi kita nampak Hakim mampu adapt dengan apa sahaja setup yang diberikan.
Semalam kami sampai pukul 8 malam untuk analisis semua data yang Hakim buat masa ujian. Masa ujian tempoh hari, tak banyak setup yang diubah lebih kepada cara tunggangan dan mengenal jentera. Tapi bila full team sampai, mereka banyak bantu untuk memberikan beberapa persepuluh saat terakhir lagi untuk kita improve prestasi Hakim.”
🇬🇧 “Honestly, I was quite nervous today for Hakim’s debut in the World Championship. But with the thorough preparation we’ve done since the beginning of the year, we could see Hakim entering FP1 ready to compete with the other riders. I’m really pleased that he managed everything so well. Of course, there are still two more days qualifying and race but for now, he has already exceeded our expectations.
Yes, there have been many changes made to the bike setup since the test sessions leading up to this race. With the help of the MT team who came to analyse the data, we saw Hakim improve by 0.8 seconds compared to the previous test with the new settings. His pace today during FP2 was also very good, and he successfully qualified straight into Q2. This is an excellent first experience and, to me, anything beyond this is a bonus. That’s the importance of having a strong team behind us the MT team.
They constantly share the latest data and information about the bike and the new setups. At the same time, observing the performance of other riders also provides valuable insight for Hakim. Of course, every rider is different in terms of ability and setup, but we can see that Hakim is capable of adapting to whatever setup is given.
Last night, we stayed until 8pm analysing all the data from Hakim’s test sessions. During the previous tests, not many setup changes were made it was more about his riding style and understanding the bike. But once the full team arrived, they contributed significantly in helping us find those final tenths of a second to improve Hakim’s overall performance.”
