Felix Rosenqvist relived an all-too familiar experience at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Sunday as he once again was taken out on the opening lap of an NTT INDYCAR SERIES race at the Lexington, Ohio, venue.<\/strong>
\u00a0
Rosenqvist\u2019s Mid-Ohio jinx struck yet again this weekend, as \u2013 having been punted off at the start in both the 2020 and 2021 events at the track \u2013 history cruelly repeated itself in 2023.
\u00a0
This time, it was fellow Swede Marcus Ericsson who collected Rosenqvist just three corners into Sunday\u2019s 80-lap race.
\u00a0
The two countrymen were left stranded at the site as the rest of the 27-car field passed by, with Rosenqvist ultimately able to continue – albeit one lap down and realistically without any hope of a top-line result. He eventually finished 25th, setting the fastest lap of the race for small comfort.\u00a0
\u00a0
Ericsson, although already out of the race, was handed a 45-second stop-and-go penalty by the stewards for causing the incident.

“It was another frustrating Mid-Ohio race today,\u201d\u00a0says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cI got taken out by Marcus at the start, and that was basically the story of the day. I gave him plenty of room on the inside, but I think he just misjudged the corner. He came up to say sorry afterwards, and he took on the responsibility, so good on him for that – but it obviously doesn’t help.\u00a0<\/em>
\u00a0
“We tried to get back on the lead lap, running long every stint, hoping for a yellow, but nothing really happened. To rub salt into the wound, this was one of very few INDYCAR races that just stayed green, which was exactly what we didn’t need today.”<\/em>
\u00a0
Rosenqvist now slips to 13th\u00a0in the standings, and will be out for redemption as the NTT INDYCAR SERIES resumes on the streets of Toronto \u2013 where he scored a podium last year \u2013 on July 14-16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
