Hakim storms to superb win in Aragon
Hakim Danish won his first race of the season in Race 2 of Round 3 of the Red Bull Rookies Cup in Aragon, Spain. PETALING JAYA: Hakim Danish Ramli made it a Hari Raya Haji celebration to remember after an incredible comeback effort to win Race 2 of the third round of the Red Bull Rookies Cup at Aragon Circuit in Spain. The 17-year-old ran wide with four laps to go but somehow managed to force his way back to the top three with one lap to go in Race 2 yesterday. Hakim's tenacity paid off as he overtook main rival Brian Uriarte, who was only 01.88s behind, on the last corner of the final lap to claim his first win of the season in 26:52.773s. Another Spanish rider David Gonzalez took third place. Hakim thus completed a wonderful Hari Raya Haji weekend on Spanish soil, having taken second place in Race 1 behind Uriarte on Saturday. Hakim was visibly delighted with what he achieved after what seemed like a hopeless outcome when he fell to seventh place after running wide. "It was my only chance and I somehow pulled it off. Finally I managed to get first place. Today's race was great and quite difficult. The tires wore out quickly but I managed to control it. "I would like to express my immense gratitude to my sponsors, family and all my friends who have always supported me. Happy Eid Al-Adha to all Malaysians," said Hakim. Hakim, who has finished thus far on the podium in all six races of the championship, extends his position as the overall leader with 125 points, having a 30-point advantage over Uriarte in second position. The next round will be held in Mugello, Italy from June 21-22.
