During the race, he pulled a competitor out of a burning car while the firefighters just watched.

A Formula 3 race driver named Ollie Millroy was rescued by Dutch competitor Loek Hartog after his car caught fire during a China GT series race in Shanghai. Millroy suffered multiple injuries but survived due to Hartog's quick action. Hartog used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames and pulled Millroy from the vehicle despite the danger. While Hartog acted bravely, there was criticism directed at the lack of response from marshals, firefighters, and stewards who failed to assist immediately. Some drivers, including Yang Baijie, expressed frustration over the delayed emergency response and alleged that officials downplayed the incident, blaming the driver instead of acknowledging their failure to act. The organizers later announced that Millroy had voluntarily withdrawn from the race.
