Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak today congratulated Malaysian racer Khairul Idham Pawi who won the German Moto 3 Grand Prix on Sunday.

"Congratulations to Khairul Idham for winning the German Moto3 Grand Prix. Keep up the effort to win more championships and glory for the nation," he said on Twitter.






The 18-year-old, fondly known by his fans as 'Super KIP', claimed his second win of the season at the main expense of Italians Andrea Locatelli and Enea Bastianini.

Khairul Idham's previous success was also attained in the rain in Argentina, and when heavy rains began to descend, the young Malaysian must surely have been grinning widely behind his helmet visor.

Khairul Idham is now 10th in the Moto3 standings, 105 points behind South African leader Brad Binder, only eighth in Germany.
