Overview
- Felix Rosenqvist won the Indianapolis 500 on Monday after a last‑lap outside pass that beat David Malukas by 0.0233 seconds, the closest margin in the race’s history.
- Rosenqvist ran the entire lap on the high outside line and spent roughly 23 seconds side‑by‑side with teammate Marcus Armstrong from Turn 1 to Turn 4 before completing the pass.
- Lando Norris flew to Indianapolis after retiring from the Canadian Grand Prix, hugged Rosenqvist in the paddock, toured McLaren’s Indianapolis base and the IMS museum, and said he would not rule out a future IndyCar or Indy 500 entry.
- The win was Rosenqvist’s first oval victory after more than 120 IndyCar starts and came about 20 days after the birth of his daughter, giving the result strong personal resonance.
- The finish and Norris’s visit highlight growing crossover between top series, a possible boost to IndyCar’s global profile, and the prospect that more Formula 1 drivers could test or race at the Speedway in coming years.
