Karl Felix Helmer Rosenqvist (born 7 November 1991) is a Swedish professional race car driver currently competing in the NTT IndyCar Series, piloting the No. 60 Honda for Meyer Shank Racing. He was honored as the IndyCar Series Rookie of the Year in 2019.

Formula Renault

Rosenqvist launched his single-seater journey in Asia, capturing the 2008 Formula Renault 2.0 Asia championship and following that with the 2009 Formula Renault 2.0 Sweden/NEZ crown.

German Formula 3 Championship

In 2010, he secured fifth place in the German Formula Three Championship, achieving two victories, eight podium finishes, and one pole position. That same year, he took part in the 2010 Macau Grand Prix Formula Three representing the Swedish/British outfit Performance Racing, where he qualified seventh and ultimately finished ninth.

European Formula 3 Championship

Progressing to the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2011 with Mücke Motorsport, Rosenqvist ended the season fifth overall. His rookie campaign included one win, ten podiums, five fastest laps, and a triumph at the Masters of Formula 3.

In 2012, he earned third place in the European Formula 3 Championship and was runner-up at the Macau Grand Prix. The following year, Rosenqvist narrowly lost out on the European F3 title to Raffaele Marciello but secured his second Masters of Formula 3 victory. Unfortunately, his race at Macau was cut short due to a first-lap collision.

During his fourth season with Mücke Motorsport in 2014, he finished eighth in the European F3 standings but claimed victory at the prestigious Macau Grand Prix from pole position, finishing ahead of teammate Lucas Auer.

Transitioning to Prema Powerteam in 2015, Rosenqvist captured the European F3 championship with an impressive tally of 13 wins, 24 podiums, and 17 poles. He also won his second consecutive Macau Grand Prix from pole position, solidifying his reputation as the most accomplished driver in Formula 3 history.

Indy Lights

In February 2016, Rosenqvist entered the 2016 Indy Lights series with Belardi Auto Racing after being unable to secure funding for a GP2 campaign with Prema Powerteam. His participation was limited to 10 out of 18 races due to commitments with Mercedes-Benz’s European sportscar program. Nonetheless, he achieved three victories during this partial season. Additionally, Rosenqvist tested an IndyCar for Chip Ganassi Racing at Mid-Ohio and expressed a desire to return to American racing later on.

GT Racing

Competing in the 2016 Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup, Rosenqvist teamed up with French driver Tristan Vautier behind the wheel of a Mercedes-AMG GT3 fielded by AKKA-ASP Team. The pair secured one win and three podium finishes across ten races, concluding seventh in the overall standings. Joined by Renger van der Zande, they also achieved second place at the 2016 24 Hours of Spa, despite receiving a five-minute stop-and-go penalty that affected all Mercedes-Benz entries.

DTM

Rosenqvist began his 2016 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) campaign as an official reserve driver for Mercedes-Benz before being promoted to a full-time race seat with ART Grand Prix. This opportunity arose following Esteban Ocon’s departure to Manor Racing in Formula One. He made an impressive debut in Moscow by finishing tenth and scoring points in his first DTM race.

Formula E

On 22 August 2016, Rosenqvist became a teammate to former Formula One competitor Nick Heidfeld at Mahindra's Formula E outfit for the 2016–17 Formula E season. He secured both his and Mahindra's inaugural triumph on 10 June 2017 at the 2017 Berlin ePrix. Rosenqvist wrapped up his involvement in Formula E by the conclusion of 2018 before making a move to the IndyCar Series.

Street circuits

Rosenqvist has earned a reputation as an expert on street circuits, boasting victories at events such as the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Honda Indy Toronto, Grand Prix de Pau, Norisring, and capturing the title twice at the Macau Grand Prix. Notably, he has started from the front row on seven occasions at Macau.

Super Formula

In 2017, Rosenqvist took part in Japan’s Super Formula championship with Team LeMans, which is historically significant as his manager, Stefan Johansson, also competed for this team in Japanese F2 back in 1981.

Super GT

Continuing his collaboration with Team LeMans, Rosenqvist participated in the Super GT series during the 2018 campaign, stepping into the role previously held by Andrea Caldarelli within the Lexus-powered squad.

IndyCar Series

For the 2019 IndyCar Series, Rosenqvist signed with Chip Ganassi Racing and earned Rookie of the Year honors by finishing sixth in the overall standings. His maiden IndyCar victory came in 2020 at the REV Group Grand Prix at Road America.

In October 2020, Rosenqvist transitioned to Arrow McLaren SP, taking over the No. 7 car from Oliver Askew. During the 2021 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, he was involved in a severe crash caused by a stuck throttle but fortunately avoided major injuries. This incident led to him missing several races, during which Askew and newcomer Kevin Magnussen—making his IndyCar debut—filled in.

Rosenqvist remained with McLaren for the 2022 season, achieving his first podium finish for the team in Toronto and securing three pole positions at Texas, IMS Road Course, and Laguna Seca. Although he showed strong qualifying pace, his best race result was a second place at Portland. He continued racing with McLaren into 2023.

On 5 September 2023, Meyer Shank Racing announced a multi-year contract signing with Rosenqvist to pilot the No. 60 Honda. Early in that season, he significantly contributed to improving team results by qualifying near the front at St. Petersburg and earning Meyer Shank Racing’s inaugural IndyCar pole position at Long Beach.
