Overview
- A chain-reaction crash at the Shanghai International Circuit left Ollie Millroy’s Ferrari engulfed in flames when two cars slid into him during an overtaking sequence on a wet track.
- Loek Hartog stopped his car, took a marshal’s fire extinguisher, fought the flames and pulled Millroy from the cockpit in footage that teams and drivers say prevented a fatal outcome.
- Millroy was hospitalized with multiple serious injuries, including broken ribs, a broken collarbone, fractures to a hand and fingers, and a lung contusion, and he publicly credited Hartog for saving his life.
- AAI Motorsports publicly criticized the event response, saying Millroy lacked immediate firefighting or rescue support for roughly 90 seconds, and the team announced it will withdraw from the rest of the China GT season.
- The incident has focused attention on on-track emergency procedures at the Shanghai circuit and is likely to trigger formal inquiries and reviews of marshal deployment and medical response at China GT events.
