Early career
Hakim was born in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. He started riding minibikes at the age of eight, inspired by his father, who owned one himself. He has cited fellow Malaysian rider Zulfahmi Khairuddin as an early influence on his racing career.[5] He competed in national pocket bike and MiniGP categories until 2021, when he was selected to participate in the Asia Talent Cup, at the age of 13.[6][7]
In 2021, Hakim finished his debut season in the Asia Talent Cup in fifth place overall, securing three third place finishes, despite missing the final round due to a wrist injury.[8] That same year, he also competed in the 2021 European Talent Cup for SIC Racing Team, scoring a point in his final race at Jerez.[9] Additionally, he also participated in the Italian MiniGP Championship as a wildcard entry, where he clinched two race wins.[10][11]
In 2022, Hakim faced his second Asia Talent Cup season, where he claimed seven podiums and four victories, which crowned him champion of the same category, becoming the first Malaysian to achieve this feat.[4][12] He also competed in the 2022 European Talent Cup with SIC Racing, making it his first full-time season in the class, where he clinched two podiums, both being second place finishes, and finished seventh overall. These results granted him a spot in the 2023 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup.[13][14]
Hakim made his Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup debut in 2023, where he secured a podium in the opening round at Portimão, and finished 12th in the final standings.[15] He also competed in the 2023 European Talent Cup season. He finished third in the opening round, but struggled to stay consistent throughout the rest of the season and finished 17th in the standings.[16][17]
In 2024, Hakim stepped up to FIM JuniorGP World Championship with SIC Racing-MSi. He scored points in every race and finished 15th overall in the standings.[18] Additionally, he had a strong second Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup season, where he finished sixth in the standings after four podiums and a maiden victory at Assen.[19]
Facing his third Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup season in 2025, Hakim stayed consistent through the first few rounds of the calendar, finishing in second place in the five first races, followed by a win at Motorland Aragón which put him as championship leader until the Austrian round.[20][21][22] He lost the championship lead to Brian Uriarte, followed by losing the second place spot to Veda Pratama, and would ultimately finish third in the standings after a weaker second half of the season.[23] Hakim also started off well his second FIM JuniorGP World Championship season with a second place at the season opener in Estoril.[24]
