Sepang boss keen to see Danish 'bounce back' after recent dip
KUALA LUMPUR: Sepang International Circuit (SIC) chief executive officer Azhan Shafriman Hanif is hoping Moto3 rookie Hakim Danish Ramli will rediscover his form in his remaining races this season.
Sepang International Circuit (SIC) chief executive officer Azhan Shafriman Hanif remains optimistic about Danish rookie Hakim Danish Ramli's performance in the upcoming races of the 2021 Moto3 season. The 19-year-old, who is by far the best young rider Malaysia has had in the past decade, is expected to revive his form and attract local fans to the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia scheduled for October 30-31.
Danish has recorded seven top-10 finishes this season, including a podium finish at Mugello and a maiden victory at Brno in June. However, his performance has dipped since then. Shafriman expressed his admiration for Danish's achievement, stating that it is remarkable to finish on the podium at this level in his first year. Despite the ups and downs in Danish's performance, Shafriman is hopeful that he will bounce back and give his all in the remaining races.
SIC has played a pivotal role in Danish's development over the years as he is a product of their two-wheel rider development program headed by Zulfahmi Khairuddin via his ZK Racing outfit. Danish currently stands at ninth place in the Moto3 standings with 107 points. Danish will next compete at the Grand Prix of Australia on October 23-25, which will be the last race before the Malaysian GP.
