  "account": "Zulfahmi Khairuddin advocates for Hakim Danish Ramli to concentrate on individual races rather than the Moto3 Rookie of the Year standings. Danish secured third at Mugello and victory at Brno in July, but experienced a mid-season decline. After returning to form at the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia, Zulfahmi believes Danish's focus has significantly improved in Sepang. Zulfahmi asserts that when Danish is preoccupied with Veda Pratama or Brian Uriarte, he loses his focus. The 19-year-old Danish has faced a steep learning curve since moving up to Moto3. Despite potential challenges, the team is satisfied with Danish's season so far. Currently, Danish stands ninth in the Moto3 overall standings with 116 points, trailing Veda Honda Team Asia by 15 points and Uriarte by 89 points.",
