"I will not rest on my laurels despite having clinched two points. I have to work very much harder," the AirAsia-Sepang International Circuit (SIC) Racing Team rider told Bernama when met at a go-kart riding session at the SIC Go-Kart Circuit here Thursday.
Also present were SIC chief executive officer (CEO) Razlan Razali and AirAsia Group CEO Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes.

"The pressure is on me. It is home turf and the people's expectations are very high. I hope to rise up to the occasion," said Zulfahmi, who is now based in Bologna, Italy.
