British racing driver Ollie Millroy has hailed the bravery of fellow racer Loek Hartog after he saved him from his car when it burst into flames, admitting that it’s a ‘miracle I’m alive’.Millroy, 36, was racing in a China GT event at Shanghai International Circuit when two cars smashed into his Ferrari while navigating a bend earlier this month.In video footage of the incident, Millroy’s vehicle can be seen spiralling off the track while aggressive flames and huge plumes of smoke billow above it.Rival Dutch driver Hartog is then seen pulling up beside the wreckage before hurriedly unbuckling his seat belt and jumping out – sacrificing his chances of winning in the process.Through a camera near the driver’s seat of Hartog’s car, the 23-year-old can then be seen desperately rummaging through the Ferrari’s remains in a bid to free Millroy, who had become trapped in the fireball.But Hartog could not initially pull the Briton to safety, meaning he had to scramble to find a fire extinguisher to put out the blaze. Ollie Millroy has once again thanked Loek Hartog for saving his life following his car crash Millroy almost lost his life after a horrific crash China GT event sent his vehicle up in flames He was left trapped inside a Ferrari which was sent spiralling off the trackFire crews then arrive to combat the fire while Hartog and track staff pull Millroy away from the fireball.Eventually, the clip cuts to show Hartog and Millroy perched on a wall by the side of the track after the Briton was miraculously pulled to safety.Millroy remains in hospital as he recovers from suffering several fractures and a punctured lung in the impact, but has spoken about the incident and remains forever grateful to Hartog.’He acted instantly and he did everything right,’ he told BBC Sport from his hospital bed in China.’Watching the video back, it looks like you’re watching a movie and everything’s rehearsed.’He ran around to check on me and realised the fire was too bad, and went round to the passenger side and realised he wasn’t going to get me out of there; got an extinguisher, kept the fire off me for long enough to get inside the car and get me out of it.’Every single step was perfectly executed. If you look at the photos and videos of the car, the fact I’ve got out without life-changing burns or even the fact I’m alive – it’s a miracle.’It was as though it was meant to be. I’m not religious in any way, but it was as though someone had pre-programmed him to get me out of that car.’It’s created this really strong bond between us. I didn’t have any memory of the crash, the first time anyone talked me through it was Loek in the hospital and the two of us were just in floods of tears when he was telling me what happened and what [he] did and how different the result could have been for me.’Millroy’s latest accolades for Hartog come after he labelled the 23-year-old his ‘superhero’.Millroy’s latest accolades for Hartog comes after he labelled the 23-year-old his ‘superhero’. Hartog has been hailed as a ‘superhero’ for his ‘selfless act’ in saving his rival Millroy who suffered serious injuries in the crash, later thanked Hartog for ‘saving his life’In the aftermath of the incident, Millroy shared a picture of himself from the hospital bed and wrote a caption alongside it that read: ‘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.’Hartog, meanwhile, posted on his own social media at the time: ‘When I saw a car turning into a huge fireball far ahead, there wasn’t really a decision to make.’From what I had seen, I genuinely believed the driver might not be able to get out by himself. I stopped, got out and went towards the car. There was never a moment of doubt.’It was scary. There were moments where I didn’t know I would actually be able to get Ollie out. But this isn’t about what I did, and I’m sure many people in the same position would have reacted exactly the same way.’
