Felix Rosenqvist is savoring a busy schedule as the spoils of victory from his Indianapolis 500 win
- On Sunday, Felix Rosenqvist won the Indianapolis 500 by 0.0233 seconds, the closest finish in the race's 110-year history, edging David Malukas in a final-lap sprint for Meyer Shank Racing.
- Leading with 15 laps remaining, Rosenqvist's race reset when Mick Schumacher brushed the barrier in Turn 2 on Lap 197, putting Armstrong ahead at the restart with Malukas second and Rosenqvist third.
- Executing the high-line strategy that worked all day, Rosenqvist passed Armstrong in Turn 4 on the final lap, then pursued Malukas side-by-side to the checkered flag, saying "This high line actually seemed to work pretty well."
- The Swedish driver faced back-to-back national media interviews Monday morning and a postrace banquet, though his first priority was a FaceTime call with his wife Emille and their 20-day-old daughter Stella.
- Rosenqvist became the third Swedish driver to win the Indy 500, joining Kenny Brack and Marcus Ericsson , ending a six-year drought since Road America; the series moves to Detroit on Friday for the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix.
