Malaysian rider Hakim Danish from MSi team predicts the 2026 English Moto3 race at Silverstone Circuit will be intense. Hakim will start from grid position nine, a position he believes gives him an advantage to compete for the front row from the third row.

Hakim said additional motivation came from his contract extension with MSi until 2027, ensuring he will continue competing with the team next year. "I'm starting to understand the characteristics of this circuit better and have managed to improve my lap time," said Hakim.

To reach the front row, Hakim needs to make a good start to overtake the riders ahead of him, including Cormac Buchanan, Brian Uriarte, Adrian Fernandez, Alvaro Carpe, and David Almansa. "For tomorrow's race, I expect the competition to be far tighter with a larger group of riders," he said.

Meanwhile, Indonesian Honda Team Asia rider Veda Ega Pratama faces a bigger challenge after securing grid position 15. Despite showing a good performance this season, Veda Ega's struggle at the start of the second half of the season will be more difficult.
