Hakim Danish seventh in Qatar Moto3 after late fight for fourth, with two rounds left

Malaysian rider Hakim Danish Ramli finished seventh in the Moto3 race at the Qatar Grand Prix at the Lusail International Circuit on Sunday, 8 November, 7.315 seconds behind the winner.

The AEON Credit-MT Helmets-MSi rider started from seventh on the grid, a week after his fourth place at his home race in Sepang.

Hakim ran in the group fighting for fifth for much of the race. In the closing laps he found extra pace and moved into contention for fourth, but contact with Spain's Alvaro Carpe on the final lap pushed him wide, and he crossed the line seventh.

His team-mate Ryusei Yamanaka finished ninth.

Spain's David Almansa (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) took the lead at the start and was never caught, winning by 2.516 seconds. Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) was second, and Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar), who started from pole and has already won this year's title, was third, 2.585 seconds behind the winner.

Indonesia's Veda Pratama (Honda Team Asia), Hakim's rival at Sepang, took fourth on the last lap, ahead of Carpe and Australia's Joel Kelso.

Seventh place is worth nine points, which takes Hakim to 125 points for the season. The Moto3 season ends with two more rounds: the Portuguese Grand Prix at Portimao on 20 to 22 November and the Valencia Grand Prix on 27 to 29 November.

In the MotoGP race, Italy's Marco Bezzecchi won, and Marc Marquez will have to wait at least one more round to wrap up the title.
