We had left the Malaysian Hafiz Syahrin under the influence of the disappointment and anger of his boss Hervé Poncharal. The fault lies in a failed performance during the Dutch Grand Prix when good points were up for grabs in the championship, and particularly in that reserved for beginners. A mission accomplished in Germany, which will allow the Tech3 pilot to go on vacation with the feeling of duty accomplished...
For the second time in a row, Syahrin had the opportunity to lead the beginners' ball due to the withdrawal of a Franco Morbidelli hurt. In Assen, the opportunity was missed, but at Sachsenring, the shot on goal was successful. With his eleventh place validated under the checkered flag, the teammate of Johann zarco passes the Marc VDS Racing driver in the hierarchy reserved for rookies. For three points.
« I would first like to congratulate my team who did a very good job on the settings » commented the one who will be a Tech3 KTM rider next year. “ We got back on track in FP4 after getting lost in FP3. It's a difficult track and I scored some good points there. I could have stayed with Johann's group, but suddenly my rear tire went bad. I tried to understand and handle the situation as well as possible. I gained experience ».
« Eleventh place was the best position I could achieve. I wanted to regain performance after difficult Grands Prix, and here I am now leading the rookies at the time of the summer break. I will try to maintain my good physical condition during this period. I will not lose sight of my goal which is to finish this season as the best beginners ”.
Hervé Poncharal give him discharge for this ninth race of the season by pointing out that his colt had managed to get ahead of the official Suzuki rider Andrea Iannone. Hafizh will now fly to Kuala Lumpur to recharge his batteries with his family.
