Malaysia’s rising Moto3 talent Hakim Danish closed out the 2025 season on a positive note after finishing 14th at the Motul Grand Prix of the Valencian Community 2025 at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit, earning valuable points in his final appearance of the year.
The 18-year-old, racing for FRINSA MT Helmets MSi as a stand-in for injured Japanese rider Ryusei Yamanaka, showcased composure and determination throughout the race. Starting from 18th on the grid, Hakim Danish fought his way into the points-paying positions, ultimately securing two championship points.
The final Moto3 race of 2025 saw Adrian Fernandez of Leopard Racing take the chequered flag with a time of 32:48.909, edging out Alvaro Carpe of Red Bull KTM Ajo by 0.286 seconds. Honda Team Asia’s Taiyo Furusato completed the podium.
The Valencia outing marks Hakim Danish’s final race as a substitute rider this season — and a timely momentum boost as he prepares for a major career milestone.
The Malaysian prodigy has already been confirmed for a full-time Moto3 campaign in the 2026 MotoGP World Championship with the same FRINSA MT Helmets MSi outfit.
His ability to adapt quickly, fight through the pack, and deliver points despite limited seat time underscores his potential as one of Asia’s most exciting young riders entering the world stage.
Hakim Danish’s entry into a full Moto3 season places him among a select group of Malaysians competing at the pinnacle of motorcycle racing. With his speed, maturity, and growing international experience, he is expected to play a key role in elevating Malaysia’s presence in the MotoGP paddock.
