🇲🇾 Sepang, 15 Oktober 2025 – Susulan pengumuman baru-baru ini…
RACE 1
🇲🇾 18 Ogos 2025, Red Bull Ring, Austria – Perlumbaan Race 1 yang berlangsung dalam keadaan litar basah dan hujan tidak begitu memihak kepada Hakim Danish. Beliau berada dalam kelompok kedua bersama dua pelumba lain bagi merebut tempat ketiga, dan kekal konsisten walaupun menerima cabaran sengit daripada Kristian Danial (USA) dan Manuel Gonzalez (Spain).
Memasuki lap terakhir, Danish berusaha keras untuk menamatkan perlumbaan di tempat ketiga. Namun, setibanya di selekoh ketiga ketika berada di kedudukan keempat, Danish terjatuh. Insiden yang mengecewakan, tetapi Danish segera bangkit dan meneruskan perlumbaan sebelum menamatkan Race 1 di tempat kelapan.
RACE 2
🇲🇾 19 Ogos 2025, Red Bull Ring, Austria – Race 2 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup berlangsung dalam cuaca baik menyaksikan Hakim Danish berusaha menebus kekecewaan semalam. Bermula dari petak ke-9, Danish menunjukkan aksi konsisten dan sempat berada di kedudukan kedua, bersaing sengit dengan Brian Uriarte (Sepanyol) dan Veda Pratama (Indonesia).
Namun, nasib tidak menyebelahi pelumba muda negara itu apabila beliau dikenakan “Long Lap Penalty” pada lap ke-9 akibat pelanggaran had trek, sekali gus menyebabkan Danish jatuh ke kedudukan ke-16. Walaupun bangkit mengejar, Danish hanya mampu menamatkan saingan di tempat ke-13.
Keputusan itu menyaksikan Danish turun ke tangga ketiga keseluruhan dengan jurang 26 mata di belakang pendahulu, Brian Uriarte. Perlumbaan terakhir yang bakal menjadi penentu kejuaraan akan berlangsung di Misano pada 13 & 14 September 2025.
RACE 1
🇬🇧 18 August 2025, Red Bull Ring, Austria – Race 1, held in wet and rainy conditions, did not favour Hakim Danish. He was in the second group with two other riders fighting for third place and remained consistent despite intense challenges from Kristian Danial (USA) and Manuel Gonzalez (Spain).
Going into the final lap, Danish pushed hard to finish in third place. However, at Turn 3 while running in fourth position, he suffered a crash. It was a disappointing incident, but Danish quickly got back up and continued the race, eventually finishing Race 1 in eighth place.
RACE 2
🇬🇧 19 August 2025, Red Bull Ring, Austria – Race 2 of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup took place in good weather conditions, with Hakim Danish determined to redeem himself after yesterday’s disappointment. Starting from ninth on the grid, Danish showed consistent pace and even climbed to second position, battling fiercely with Brian Uriarte (Spain) and Veda Pratama (Indonesia).
Unfortunately, luck was not on the young Malaysian rider’s side as he was handed a Long Lap Penalty on Lap 9 for exceeding track limits, which dropped him back to 16th position. Despite fighting his way forward, Danish could only finish the race in 13th place.
This result sees Danish drop to third in the overall standings, 26 points behind championship leader Brian Uriarte. The final and decisive round of the championship will take place in Misano on 13 & 14 September 2025.
#13 Hakim Danish
🇲🇾“Race 1 saya tamat di P8 dalam keadaan litar yang basah. Saya cuba untuk rapat dengan group hadapan, tetapi dua pelumba teratas, Veda dan Brian, agak laju. Saya berjaya kekal di dalam group kedua, namun malangnya saya terjatuh lowside ketika sedang merebut kedudukan ketiga.
Bagi Race 2, saya menamatkan perlumbaan di P13. Awal perlumbaan saya bermula dengan baik, berjaya mengejar group hadapan dan berada di kedudukan kedua. Namun, di awal perlumbaan saya tersentuh track limit dan dikenakan penalti. Saya cuba untuk mengejar semula tetapi tidak kesampaian. Apa pun, saya tetap mengekalkan motivasi dan akan terus berjuang di pusingan seterusnya di Misano.
🇬🇧 “In Race 1, I finished P8 in wet track conditions. I tried to close in on the leading group, but the top two riders, Veda and Brian, were very fast. I managed to stay with the second group, but unfortunately I suffered a lowside crash while battling for third place.
As for Race 2, I finished in P13. I had a good start, managed to chase the leading group and was up to second position. However, early in the race I touched the track limit and was given a penalty. I tried to fight back but couldn’t quite make it. Nevertheless, I will keep my motivation high and continue to fight in the next round at Misano.”

“Keputusan minggu ini mengecewakan apabila Danish tidak berjaya menamatkan perlumbaan di podium. Ini menyebabkan kedudukannya dalam carta keseluruhan jatuh ke tempat ketiga. Minggu yang tidak begitu baik ini pastinya mengecewakan para peminat di Malaysia, dan saya percaya Danish sendiri turut berasa sangat kecewa dengan keputusan tersebut.
Musim lalu memang kita melalui banyak kesukaran, tetapi tahun ini kita berjaya memperbaiki kelemahan dan Danish berjaya meletakkan dirinya di kedudukan teratas sejak awal musim hingga ke pusingan Austria. Namun, kita dapat lihat pada pusingan kali ini tekanan yang sangat kuat datang daripada Uriarte dan Veda. Saya percaya perkara ini bukanlah berpunca daripada kelewatan Danish menyesuaikan diri dengan keadaan litar atau masalah pada jentera, tetapi lebih kepada tekanan dalam dirinya sendiri.
Di pusingan terakhir masih ada 50 mata berbaki. Dalam perlumbaan, apa sahaja boleh berlaku. Jadi, kita harapkan yang terbaik dan akan terus membuat persediaan dari segi mental dan fizikal sebelum pusingan akhir supaya kita dapat memberikan saingan yang hebat di penghujung musim nanti.”
🇬🇧“This week’s result was disappointing as Danish was unable to finish on the podium. This has dropped him to third place in the overall standings. It was not the best of weekends, and certainly a disappointment for the fans back in Malaysia and I believe Danish himself is also very disappointed with the outcome.
Last season, we went through many difficulties, but this year we have worked hard to improve our weaknesses, and Danish managed to put himself at the top of the standings from the start of the season up until the Austria round. However, in this race we saw him come under tremendous pressure from Uriarte and Veda. I believe this was not due to Danish struggling to adapt to the circuit or issues with the bike, but more to the mental pressure he faced.
There are still 50 points up for grabs in the final round. In racing, anything can happen. We hope for the best and will continue to prepare mentally and physically ahead of the season finale so that we can put up a strong fight until the very end.”
