(Shafiq relaxes before his fateful final at Sepang)

Age : 14      Date of Birth : 22/12/1987

Class Racing in : Formula 125

Kart No.: 10

Anyone who watched the Sepang race on TV3 recently would have seen Shafiq's big 1st corner off in the Formula 125 final race. He in fact flew through the air but landed right side up thankfully - his accident attributed to jammed throttle cable.

Shafiq was shaken but unhurt otherwise. Even though he has a 4 years career in karting, it was in fact one of his first races in the 125 class.

Anyhow, Shafiq is no stranger to action - thanks to his equal 2 years stint in the Cadet class and Formula Junior respectively.

When asked who his driving idol is, Shafiq points to Kimi Raikonnen immediately - a choice made probably due to Raikonnen's karting background as well.

Ever the easy going chap, Shafiq thanks his parents and also City Karting for his karting career so far which hopefully will lead him to Formula 1.
