Karting

Rosenzweig began his karting journey mainly within the United Kingdom, competing in Super 1 championships. In 2001, he secured fifth place in the Cadet Championship, a significant improvement from finishing outside the top thirty the year before. He moved up to JICA karts in 2002, racing for two seasons in Super 1 and taking part in the Andrea Margutti Trophy in 2004.

Following a break in 2005, Rosenzweig advanced to ICA karts in 2006, entering the U.S. Stars of Karting series and concluding the season eighth overall. He also took part in the WSK International Series and Italian Open Masters, earning points in both competitions. In 2007, his focus shifted to North American karting events, where he won both the ICA Florida Winter Tour and Canadian ICC Championship. He finished as runner-up in the Stars of Karting National and East divisions, second to British competitor Scott Jenkins. At the SuperNationals event in Las Vegas, he achieved thirteenth place, outperforming prominent drivers such as Raphael Matos and Phil Giebler.

Formula Renault

After participating in the 2008 24 Hours of Daytona with Alegra Motorsports, Rosenzweig stepped up to Formula Renault by joining the Epsilon Euskadi team. He competed in both the 2008 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and the inaugural 2008 Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup. In the Eurocup series, he earned points twice by finishing tenth at both Le Mans and Barcelona, ultimately ranking 28th overall. In the West European Cup, Rosenzweig consistently scored points in eight out of fifteen races and ended tied on thirty points with Spain's Miquel Monrás, who was placed eighth due to a superior best finish. Additionally, he entered six rounds of the 2008 Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain with Team Parker Racing, notably setting the fastest lap during the season finale at Brands Hatch, despite not accumulating championship points.

Formula Three

In 2009, Rosenzweig moved into Formula Three, competing in the Formula Three Euroseries for Carlin Motorsport. He secured a podium finish at Zandvoort, placing third behind teammates Sam Bird and Jules Bianchi. That year, he also made a guest appearance in the 2009 British Formula 3 Championship at Spa-Francorchamps, finishing fifth in the opening race. In non-championship contests, he was 29th at Zandvoort and retired early at Macau following a crash. Rosenzweig continued racing that season by participating in six events of the 2009 Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain for Team Parker Racing.

GP2 Series

In November 2009, Rosenzweig tested a GP2 vehicle for Super Nova Racing at Circuit Paul Ricard. He subsequently joined Super Nova for the final two rounds of the 2009–10 GP2 Asia Series, replacing Marcus Ericsson alongside teammate Josef Král.

Rosenzweig made his debut in the main GP2 Series during the non-championship 2011 GP2 Final with Super Nova and returned for the penultimate round of the 2012 championship at Monza, stepping in for Král at Addax alongside partner Johnny Cecotto Jr..

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

In 2010, Rosenzweig progressed to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series, remaining with Carlin and teaming up with Mikhail Aleshin. He concluded the season 19th in the driver standings, achieving his highest finish of seventh place at Aragón. Additionally, he participated as a guest driver in the Auto GP series, competing with Super Nova.

The following year, 2011, saw him switch to Mofaz Racing, initially partnering with Chris van der Drift before being joined by Fairuz Fauzy. His overall ranking improved to 15th, highlighted by two fourth-place results at Ricard. For the 2012 season, Rosenzweig signed with ISR Racing, racing alongside Sam Bird.
