Felix Rosenqvist met a cruel fate in Sunday’s NTT INDYCAR SERIES race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course as a technical failure forced him to retire when running in third place.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It brought down the curtain on what had marked a highly promising start to the race, where Rosenqvist swept around the outside of Colton Herta to snatch P3 after starting from fourth on the grid.\u00a0

He then slotted in right behind leading duo Pato O\u2019Ward and eventual race winner Scott McLaughlin as the race settled in.

The potential podium voyage came to a crushing end on lap nine, however, when the Swede\u2019s Arrow McLaren SP car suddenly ground to a halt exiting Mid-Ohio\u2019s Turn 2 \u2013 also known as The Keyhole \u2013 with Rosenqvist parking up in a cloud of smoke.

\u201cThis one is extremely tough to take, let me be honest,\u201d\u00a0says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cIt was going so well. I had a great start, passed Herta on the outside, and could easily keep up with the pace up front. We will have to analyze exactly what happened, of course, but basically the car just died when I applied the throttle on the exit of Turn 2.\u201d<\/em>

In a heartbreaking development for Arrow McLaren SP, the squad\u2019s second car with Pato O\u2019Ward later also retired.

\u201cThis is a big blow for us today and I\u2019m massively disappointed, but there\u2019s not much I can do,\u201d\u00a0Felix Rosenqvist admits<\/strong>. \u201cThe only thing I can do is get back up there, trying again. The pace is clearly improving with every race. We\u2019ve got to take the positives, no matter how much this hurts today. It\u2019s heartbreaking for the entire team, but we are pushing, we will be back.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up on the NTT INDYCAR SERIES schedule is a visit to Canada for the much-anticipated return of Toronto, which greets the field on July 15-17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
