【影片片段·吳彥祖】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.
【影片片段·吳彥祖】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.
【影片片段·吳彥祖】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.
【影片片段·吳彥祖】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.
【影片片段·吳彥祖】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.
【影片片段·吳彥祖】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.
【影片片段·吳彥祖】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.
會讓我們本能的,就是具有人性的我們,也就是我們正常人類,他本能就會讓我們感到害怕。有一件事呢,已經過去了一段時間啊,但是我覺得很多的朋友可能並不知道,或者說知道一個大概,但是對於這件事情後續的反轉是並不清楚的,就是G T China的這個車禍事件啊。這個事情本身呢,就是比賽現場出了一個意外,然後呢,當時這個事情被爆出來的時候,因為有一段影像,大家通通都在譴責現場的那兩位本該救援的工作人員啊,看到那個火起那麼大之後,他們撒腿跑路了啊。
然後呢?中共當時為了壓這個事情,把王一博也正好在參加一個比賽嘛,然後出現了一個小車禍,追尾的小車禍,給頂上了熱搜好多天,就是為了壓同樣的這個賽車的事件。你看他們關鍵詞都一樣,這樣你一搜,它直接跳出來王一博的這個事兒,你就不知道這個 GT China 的事兒嗎?但後面這個事情其實是有反轉的。我們先來看一下吳彥祖他對於這件事情的一個評價,因為他是在事件的第二天就發表了自己的看法,所以呢,還沒有到這個反轉的時候。
