Felix Rosenqvist
Professional Racing Driver and Winner of the 2026 Indianapolis 500
Felix Rosenqvist is in his eighth season in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and his third with Meyer Shank Racing. He captured his first Indianapolis 500 victory on May 24, 2026, with a dramatic last-lap pass, winning by just 0.0233 of a second — the closest finish in the race's more than century-long history. Rosenqvist also has eight pole positions to his credit, including two in the 2026 season (Long Beach and Portland).
Before joining Meyer Shank Racing, Rosenqvist competed for Arrow McLaren from 2021-23 after beginning his INDYCAR career with Chip Ganassi Racing. He earned Rookie of the Year honors in 2019 before scoring his first series victory at Road America the following season.
Prior to INDYCAR, Rosenqvist competed in Formula E, earning race victories and establishing himself as one of the series' top drivers. He also captured the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, won multiple Formula Renault titles, and claimed victories in prestigious events, including the Masters of Formula 3 and the Macau Grand Prix.
Away from the track, Rosenqvist married his wife, Emille, in September 2024. They welcomed their first child, Stella, on May 4, 2026, just three weeks before he won the Indianapolis 500.
Affectionately known as “FRO,” he enjoys skiing, skateboarding, hiking, video games, and music ranging from Slipknot to Coldplay. His racing hero is Mika Häkkinen.
