British racing driver Ollie Millroy has called his survival after a fiery crash during the China GT Championship race at the Shanghai International Circuit a "miracle," crediting Dutch driver Loek Hartog for saving his life. The incident occurred 11 days ago when Millroy, 36, was struck by two other cars, causing his Ferrari to catch fire before it collided with safety barriers. Millroy was trapped in his car for over a minute before being rescued by Hartog, who stopped his car to help. Millroy, who is currently recovering in a hospital in China, praised Hartog for acting quickly and efficiently. According to Millroy, Hartog checked on him, realized the fire was too intense, retrieved an extinguisher, and used it to suppress the flames long enough to get inside the car and pull Millroy out. Millroy described the rescue as perfectly executed, noting that he was conscious but unable to move due to multiple injuries, including several fractures and a punctured lung. Millroy has no memory of the crash or the immediate aftermath, which is affecting him psychologically. He described the experience as strange, saying he often wakes up at night trying to piece together what happened to his body. He mentioned that watching the video of the crash feels like watching a movie, and he is still coming to terms with the event. Millroy and Hartog, 23, are set to reunite, as Hartog is flying back to China this week. Hartog described his initial reaction as a brief moment of fear but quickly focused on freeing space around Millroy to get him out of the car. He estimated it took him 59 seconds from stopping his car to Millroy exiting his burning vehicle. Millroy’s wife, Fern, has been with him since the crash, and their three children are being cared for by her sister. She expressed deep emotion about the bond formed with Hartog, saying it is incredible to instantly love someone who has saved her husband's life. Millroy joked about not being able to take Hartog out to dinner but expressed gratitude for Hartog's actions, noting that Hartog came from a wonderful family and that being a good sportsman does not require being a bad person. He emphasized that Hartog made a decision to prioritize something other than sport, which saved his life. Both drivers expect to work closely together in the future, particularly on safety improvements in the sport. Millroy acknowledged the inherent risks in racing but said they are often taken for granted. He stated he does not want to comment too much until an official investigation is completed. Hartog expressed that this moment could be used to make the sport safer, acknowledging that multiple things went wrong during the incident. He noted that he should not have been the one to help but that his actions could have had a different outcome if he had not intervened. Millroy said he intends to continue racing once he feels ready but mentioned he has not yet returned home to see his children and that there are many things he wants to process first. He expressed deep gratitude to Hartog, saying he would thank him again many times for saving his life.
