Being live on my own TV at home is definitely a dream come true. Photo thanks to my wonderful girlfriend who’s watching at home ❤️
In the process of switching all my personal banking (except investments) over to @Wealthsimple. Super impressed with the UX so far. This is how easy banking should be!
No words can describe the bravery of Loek Hartog. As drivers we’re told not to do this, but he had the instinct that Ollie otherwise wouldn’t make it.
Give @loekhartog1 driver of the year, decade, and a lifetime achievement award 👏
Get well soon @OllieMillroy!
This is the onboard from the Phantom Global Porsche, showing Loek Hartog rescuing Ollie Millroy. Just a warning that these images are pretty harrowing.
A statement of the Xiaomi China GT Championship reads among others that "rescue workers arrived at the scene of the accident at the earliest time".
It's clear though that Hartog was at the burning Ferrari for a full minute already, before the first marshal even shows up. The time between the impact and the marshals starting to extinguish the flames, is almost eighty seconds.
China GT do praise Hartog in their statement... But if eighty seconds is "the earliest time" for marshals to reach a burning car, that's not something to be thankful for, but it's something to be incredibly worried about. Especially, considering Millroy's Ferrari was really not that far away from a marshals' post.
