The Indianapolis Grand Prix was a crash-filled affair on Saturday which saw IndyCar star Christian Lundgaard pick up his first win since 2023.
Felix Rosenqvist was involved in one of the scarier crashes of the day. He was entering Turn 13 of the road course on Lap 29 when he got into the side of Pato O’Ward and went airborne. Rosenqvist tried to drive through the wreck, but his vehicle was too damaged.

He finished in 23rd after starting the race in third place.
Rosenqvist’s wreck was one of a few that occurred on the course. Drivers trading paint started early as there was bumping coming down the front stretch to take the green flag before Lap 1. As the drivers raced into Turn 1, a handful of drivers were caught up in a spin. Rosenqvist was involved in that incident as well.
