British racing driver Ollie Millroy says he owes his life to fellow competitor Loek Hartog, who pulled him from his burning Ferrari during a China GT Championship race in Shanghai. Hartog, a Dutch driver, abandoned his own car to run to Millroy's blazing vehicle, using a fire extinguisher to fight the flames before dragging him to safety, with no marshals or fire crews present at the time. The incident has raised serious questions about safety standards at the event and prompted sharp criticism from Millroy's team of the organisers' emergency response.

Millroy suffered five broken ribs, a broken collarbone, a broken hand, a broken finger and a bruised lung, but said "it could have been much worse". His team, AAI Motorsport, said the car burned for more than a minute without effective firefighting or rescue efforts and announced it would no longer compete in China GT races, accusing organisers of negligence. China GT said it would review the crash and improve its emergency response and medical provisions, while Hartog said he felt he had no choice but to act and downplayed his own heroism.
