Hakim Danish's 2026 Moto3 campaign

Overview

After his Mugello podium in early June, Danish entered the Hungarian round confident that the race‑craft gained in Italy would translate to a new circuit, despite having never raced at Balaton Park. At Brno he shattered the Moto3 free‑practice record with a 2:04.938 lap, the first sub‑2:05 time on the historic track, and then turned a 14th‑grid start – after a 12‑place penalty – into a historic victory, delivering Malaysia its first Moto3 win since 2016.

The Youth and Sports Ministry reaffirmed its financial backing, confirming a RM1.8 million matching grant for the season and noting that total state investment in Danish’s pathway now totals RM8.93 million, complemented by a RM453,000 seed fund from the Sepang International Circuit. Team manager Zulfahmi Khairuddin reiterated that multiple Moto3 and Moto2 outfits are in advanced talks for a 2027 seat, prioritising a stable development programme and competitive machinery over pure salary.

In July Danish qualified third at the German GP but finished 12th, taking his points tally to 86 and keeping him seventh in the championship, third among rookies. Ahead of the British round at Silverstone, he is sharpening his physical and technical preparation, trailing series leader Veda Ega Pratama by four points. A dedicated fan tribune for his supporters has been installed in the Main Grandstand for the October Malaysia GP.

At the British Grand Prix, Danish qualified ninth but failed to score points after crashing on the seventh lap of the race. This result caused him to drop to eighth place in the overall standings with 86 points, as Valentin Perrone moved into seventh. Danish aims to recover momentum at the upcoming round in Aragon, Spain.
