ZK Racing Team Manager Believes in Hakim Danish’s Potential, But Sees Room for Improvement
ZK Racing team manager Zulfahmi Khairuddin is confident in the abilities of young rider Hakim Danish Ramli, who has demonstrated a high level of determination and courage in the face of every challenge.
Maturity and Experience
However, Zulfahmi emphasized that Hakim Danish still needs to work on certain essential elements to translate his potential into victory in this season’s Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup campaign. He noted that the level of maturity of Asian and European riders differs, with riders from Spain, who are as young as 16, already able to manage their races effectively, especially in the final rounds. Hakim Danish is slowly showing maturity by being brave enough to be among the pacesetters in the final rounds.
Improvement Needed
"We need to improve on his position because sometimes when you finish in sixth place, the difference is only 0.4-second from the winner. This is one of the small details that can still be improved," Zulfahmi said.
Injury Recovery and European Training
Zulfahmi was asked if Hakim Danish is ready to return to racing after injuring three fingers in his left hand during an accident last November. Zulfahmi expressed relief that Hakim Danish got a break from motorsports, and expects him to return fresher for the upcoming challenges.
The team is also working on getting Hakim Danish to be based in Europe on his own for a year, with no support from any crew member. "Hakim Danish will have the wires attached to his fingers removed this week… if he can try out the motorcycle in February, there is surely time for him to train because right now he has the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination. After that, he will head to Tarragona, Spain," he said.
Monitoring Diet and Progress
Right now, my team and I are monitoring Hakim Danish’s diet and we can see that he is following it, Zulfahmi added.
Conclusion
Zulfahmi’s remarks highlight the importance of maturity, experience, and attention to detail in achieving success in the world of motorsports. While Hakim Danish has shown great potential, he still needs to work on refining his skills to reach the top tier.
