KUALA LUMPUR: Despite a promising start, Moto3 newcomer Hakim Danish Ramli finished 14th at the Grand Prix of Indonesia on Sunday after receiving a three-second penalty. The incident occurred during the final lap when Danish collided with Joel Kelso from GRYD Racing, who suffered a crash. The stewards determined Danish to be at fault and imposed the penalty, demoting him from a starting position of 12th to 14th.
Danish had fought hard throughout the race and was poised for a top-10 finish. The 19-year-old began the race from the back of the grid due to a slow riding penalty in qualifying on Saturday. CFMoto Gaviota Aspar Team's Maximo Quiles emerged victorious, completing the race in 32:36.821, while David Almansa from Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP and Brian Uriarte from Red Bull KTM Ajo secured the 2nd and 3rd places respectively, with lead times of +2.994s and +5.156s.
