“I owe him my life”
British GT driver Ollie Millroy has thanked fellow racer Loek Hartog for stopping and pulling him out of his burning Ferrari after being left unconscious from a massive crash in Shanghai with no immediate sign of rescue.
Millroy suffered five broken ribs, fractured collarbone, broken hand and a bruised lung in the accident.
This is what a real hero looks like 🙏

👏 Coraggio e nobiltà d’animo
Loek Hartog ha salvato la vita al pilota britannico Ollie Millroy estraendolo da una Ferrari 296 GT3 in fiamme dopo un grave incidente nel campionato Xiaomi China GT a Shanghai. Millroy ha riportato cinque costole rotte e ha dichiarato: “Gli devo la vita” #Moorsport #hero

The fact that Loek Hartog was on his own in saving Ollie Millroy's life and marshalls were nowhere to be found is appalling. Loek deserves all of the praise, because it's only thanks to him that Ollie is relatively okay after that scary crash.

Millroy was unconscious, he would have died, if Hartog hadn't of perservered to drag him from the car.
Fire crews were nowhere to be seen, one track marshal approached with a fire extinguisher.
A massive crash in the #ChinaGT race today, where Ollie Millroys life was saved by a heroic Loek Hartog who didn't hesitate to stop his car and pulled Millroy out of the burning vehicle.

An abhorrent safety failure almost took Ollie’s life and the China GT organisers profoundly downplayed the events and lied about the outcome and situation overall. Loek’s act of courage is beyond touching but drivers shouldn’t save each other in fucking contemporary motorsport
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.

Where were the Marshalls!

Ollie Millroy delivers an emotional message to thank Loek Hartog for saving his life yesterday in Shanghai, China.
"I am still alive tonight, entirely thanks to one man; Loek Hartog stopped instantly with no flag marshalls or fire crews in sight, and risked his own life to get me out of the car.
"I don’t remember anything between 30 seconds before the crash and 1 hour after it, but I will remember his incredible act of bravery for the rest of my life. One day I will tell our three kids this story and Loek will be the biggest superhero in history in their eyes too."
"I’m laying here tonight with 5 broken ribs, broken collar bone, broken hand and finger and a bruised lung, but it could have been much worse. Thank you Loek. I owe you my life for your selfless act today."

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg labels Keir Starmer the 'Prime Minister of hypocrisy', pointing to comments he made criticising the previous Government and calling for resignations.

Elon Musk's message for the people of Britain:
"I want Britain to be greater than it ever has been. I want Britain to remain Britain. I think there's something beautiful about being British. And what I see happening is a destruction of Britain, initially a slow erosion, but a rapidly increasing erosion of Britain with massive uncontrolled migration, a failure by the government to protect innocent people, including children who are getting gang raped.
It's unreal the government has failed in its duty to protect its citizens, which is a fundamental duty of government. This has got to stop. There needs to be massive reform. The people need to be in charge, not some bureaucracy that doesn't care."

Who is looking forward to another Monday morning - another day of working only to be £17,000 worse off than a family of 3 on benefits!
Can’t wait!
It’s all very fair!

Boris’ net favourability rating was -53 on the day he resigned.
YouGov’s weekly favourability tracker has Starmer on -54 net favourability.
Rachel Reeves is on -57.
Keir Starmer, who repeatedly called for Boris to resign, is more unpopular than Boris when he resigned.
Can anyone at @BMW @BMW_UK give any update on the iX1 recall and not releasing any of the cars! My husband is disabled and was meant to collect it 2 weeks ago and now just sitting in the dealers and they won’t release it and NO information as to when they can !! 🤬
