Racing driver abandons China GT race to pull rival from burning Ferrari
–
Neutral summary
Dutch driver Loek Hartog stopped during a China GT race at Shanghai International Circuit and pulled British driver Ollie Millroy from his burning Ferrari 296 GT3 after a crash. Millroy, who suffered five fractured ribs, injuries to his collarbone, hand and finger, and a lung contusion, said: “I am still alive tonight, entirely thanks to one man.” The incident occurred about 15–20 minutes into the race, when a collision between David Chen and Neil Verhagen sent Millroy’s Ferrari into a barrier, where it caught fire. Hartog, risking his own safety, grabbed a fire extinguisher and helped his rival out of the cockpit before emergency crews arrived.
