Felix Rosenqvist

Formula Renault

Rosenqvist started his single-seater career in Asia, where he won the Formula Renault 2.0 Asia in 2008,^[4] and the Formula Renault 2.0 Sweden/NEZ title in 2009.^[4]

German Formula 3 Championship

In 2010, Rosenqvist was fifth in the German Formula Three Championship with two victories, eight podiums, and one pole position.^[4] He also qualified seventh in his debut, with the same Swedish/British racing team Performance Racing,^[4] finishing ninth in the 2010 Macau Grand Prix Formula Three.^[4]

European Formula 3 Championship

In 2011, Rosenqvist graduated to the Formula 3 Euro Series,^[4] with the Mücke Motorsport team, ^[4] where he finished his rookie year fifth, with one win, ten podiums, and five fastest laps, and won the Masters of Formula 3.^[4]

In 2012, Rosenqvist finished third in the 2012 European Formula 3 Championship and finished second in Macau Grand Prix.^[4]

The year after, Rosenqvist narrowly missed out on the 2013 European Formula 3 Championship title to Raffaele Marciello,^[4] however, he won for a second time from the pole position, the Masters of Formula 3.^[4] he started the race from the front row, but collided with Raffaele Marciello and Pipo Derani to retire from the race in the first lap, in the Macau Grand Prix 2013.^[4]

In his fourth year with Mücke Motorsport, Rosenqvist finished eighth in the 2014 European Formula 3 Championship.^[4] He ended 2014 with a win from pole position ahead of teammate Lucas Auer in the Macau Grand Prix.^[4]

In 2015, Rosenqvist switched to Prema Powerteam, claiming the 2015 European Formula 3 Championship title with 13 victories, 24 podiums, and 17 pole positions.^[4] He would also take his second consecutive victory, again from pole position, in the 2015 Macau Grand Prix.^[4] His extended Formula 3 career meant that he would become the most successful Formula 3 racer of all time.

Indy Lights

In February 2016, Rosenqvist announced that he would compete in the 2016 Indy Lights series for Belardi Auto Racing^[5] as he failed to bring the budget for a continued programme in GP2 Series with Prema Powerteam.^{[citation needed]} Rosenqvist had a reduced programme in the series, competing in only ten of the eighteen races, as he later in the season would have clashing commitments with his sportscar programme with Mercedes-Benz in Europe.^{[citation needed]} He scored three wins in his campaign.^[4] He had a successful test in IndyCar with Chip Ganassi Racing at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, saying he would be happy to return to the American racing scene later in his career.^{[citation needed]}

GT Racing

Rosenqvist joined the 2016 Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup together with French Tristan Vautier, driving a Mercedes-AMG GT3 for AKKA-ASP Team,^[6] where they together scored one victory, three podiums out of the ten races and finished seventh in the overall standings.^[4] The same duo together with Renger van der Zande lined up for the classic 2016 24 Hours of Spa where they reached second place.^[4]

DTM

Rosenqvist started 2016 with the role of official reserve driver, having continued his long partnership with Mercedes-Benz before being promoted to a race seat with one of the cars run by ART Grand Prix following Esteban Ocon's departure to Manor Racing in Formula One.^[7] He made an impressive debut in Moscow where he finished tenth and scored points in his first-ever race in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters.^[4]

Formula E

In August 2016, it was announced that Rosenqvist would partner with former Formula One driver Nick Heidfeld at the Mahindra Formula E team for the 2016–17 Formula E season.^[8] On 10 June 2017, he won the first race at the Berlin ePrix. It would be the first victory for him, as well as for his team.^[9] At the end of 2018, he made his last race start in Formula E before moving on to the IndyCar Series.^[4]

Super Formula and Super GT

Rosenqvist raced in the Super Formula series for the 2017 season with Team LeMans.^[4]

IndyCar Series

Arrow McLaren (2020–2023)

On 13 October 2020, it was announced Rosenqvist would leave CGR and join Arrow McLaren SP in 2021, replacing Oliver Askew in the organization's No. 7 entry.^[13]

On 12 June 2021, in the first race at the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix weekend doubleheader, Rosenqvist suffered a significant crash on lap 28 as his car experienced a stuck throttle, and as a result, his car crashed hard into the wall. He did not suffer any life-threatening injuries, but was taken to a downtown Detroit hospital for further evaluation.^{[citation needed]} Rosenqvist was released the following day from the hospital, but was not cleared to participate in the second Detroit race nor the following race a week later at Road America. He was replaced in those races by Oliver Askew and Kevin Magnussen, with Magnussen making his IndyCar debut.^[14][15]

Rosenqvist stayed with McLaren for 2022, and picked up his first podium with the team at Toronto. It was announced in September that he would also be driving for the team in 2023.^[16] Rosenqvist picked up three pole positions on the season at Texas, the IMS Road Course, and Laguna Seca. However, he was again unable to pick up a race win for Arrow McLaren, with his best finish on the season being second at Portland.^[17]

Meyer Shank Racing (2024–2026)

On 5 September 2023, Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) announced that Rosenqvist would drive the No. 60 Honda in a multi-year deal beginning in the 2024 season.^[3] In the early portion of the season, Rosenqvist led a significant uptick in performance at Meyer Shank Racing, starting near the front of the field at St. Petersburg and taking pole at Long Beach, the latter of which gave Meyer Shank Racing their first ever IndyCar pole position.^[18]

Rosenqvist then had a mid-season slump, including at the 2024 Indianapolis 500.^[4] He finished the season with 306 points, 12th in the standings.^[4] In 2025, he took a big step forward with MSR. He sat fourth in points after three races. At the 2025 Indianapolis 500, he qualified for the Firestone Fast Six, qualified fifth for the race, and finished fourth in the race.^[4] He then followed that up with a second at Road America after charging from 12th position, tying MSR's best non-Indy 500 result. He finished sixth in points with 372 pts.^[4]

In 2026, Rosenqvist had a rough first four races, finishing outside the top-ten in each of those races. Nonetheless, he earned the pole position at Long Beach and earned a podium finish.^[4] Rosenqvist started the month of May with a 23rd place DNF at the Indianapolis Road Course.^[4] For the Indianapolis 500, he was the fastest through the first two rounds of qualifying.^[4] His speed during qualification allowed him to earn a spot in the Firestone Fast Six, qualifying fourth for the race. Then, in what would be the closest finish in Indianapolis 500 history, he beat Penske's David Malukas to the yard of bricks by the closest of margins (0.0233 seconds) to win his first Indianapolis 500.^[19] At the end of June, Meyer Shank announced Rosenqvist's departure from the team at the conclusion of the season.^[20] On July 13, he went to the White House to help promote the Freedom 250 Grand Prix along with Álex Palou and Malukas.
