【视频片段·吴彦祖】The accident was shown on the broadcast and then immediately cut away. Um, and then it took another thirty seconds to a minute before race control issued a red flag. Very slow to issue a red flag, and then from that point on, we were left completely in the dark because nobody knew what was happening. But later, we found out that Luke Hartog, our fellow driver from Phantom Global Racing, was coming down the back straight, saw the accident, stopped the car, jumped out.
【视频片段·吴彦祖】And literally saved Ollie Millroy's life by pulling him out of the car, a burning car, risking his own life. The marshals were bungling around; clearly, did not know what they're doing, or not, not did not know what to do in a situation like this. Not sure why the fire truck took so long to get there, but clearly mistakes were made all along the way. And for Gigi China to not acknowledge what happened, or even make a statement, even 36 hours later, is disgraceful. Really disgraceful.
【视频片段·吴彦祖】For any person, organization, business to get better, the first thing you do is acknowledge what went wrong, acknowledge a mistake, admit it, then analyze what happened, and then figure out how not to let that happen again. It's very simple, very basic, and in this case, it seems like everything was brushed under the carpet. Hopefully, no one will talk about this again and it'll just go away. But there's a man in a hospital right now because of this, you know, with bad burns, broken bones, everything, and.
【视频片段·吴彦祖】They have not acknowledged any responsibility for what happened. In fact, trying to blame it on the other drivers that caused the accident, but that's regardless. Accidents will happen during a race, but we as drivers that know that, and we know that we're putting our life on the lines. But we expect a certain amount of safety to be implemented when things like this do happen, and clearly, in this case, that whole entire system failed.
【视频片段·吴彦祖】And for Chinese motorsport to be better, these organizers need to be better. And to be better, you need to acknowledge your mistake. So, I understand why all these other teams have decided to pull out of G G China and not race with them until these issues are addressed. Makes a lot of sense. I think G G China, you can do better. Please do better. Learn from this mistake. Learn from what happened yesterday. Someone could have died.
【视频片段·吴彦祖】Because of negligence, and you have to acknowledge that it's really simple. I'm so, so, so moved by Luke Hartog's heroics because if it wasn't for him, Ollie would be dead for sure. And I think it also woke up fellow drivers as well because a lot of people just drove by that fire like it was nothing, continuing on racing, and.
【视频片段·吴彦祖】Luke's actions really exemplified what it means to really care about your fellow drivers. We need care about our fellow drivers. Yes, we're competitors. Yes, we're trying to win, but we also need to care about each other because this is a community. We're not just trying to beat each other the whole time. We need to care about each other. But on the organizers' part, you guys need to be better, and you guys need to make amends here.
会让我们本能的,就是具有人性的我们,也就是我们正常人类,他本能就会让我们感到害怕。有一件事呢,已经过去了一段时间啊,但是我觉得很多的朋友可能并不知道,或者说知道一个大概,但是对于这件事情后续的反转是并不清楚的,就是G T China的这个车祸事件啊。这个事情本身呢,就是比赛现场出了一个意外,然后呢,当时这个事情被爆出来的时候,因为有一段影像,大家通通都在谴责现场的那两位本该救援的工作人员啊,看到那个火起那么大之后,他们撒腿跑路了啊。
然后呢?中共当时为了压这个事情,把王一博也正好在参加一个比赛嘛,然后出现了一个小车祸,追尾的小车祸,给顶上了热搜好多天,就是为了压同样的这个赛车的事件。你看他们关键词都一样,这样你一搜,它直接跳出来王一博的这个事儿,你就不知道这个 GT China 的事儿吗?但后面这个事情其实是有反转的。我们先来看一下吴彦祖他对于这件事情的一个评价,因为他是在事件的第二天就发表了自己的看法,所以呢,还没有到这个反转的时候。
