Felix Rosenqvist was forced to retire from this weekend’s NTT INDYCAR SERIES race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway while on course for a top ten finish, parking up in pit lane with a gearbox issue.<\/strong>

After clinching two previous pole positions at the IMS road course,\u00a0Rosenqvist started ninth at the venue this time around as Saturday’s 85-lap Gallagher Grand Prix got underway.

The Arrow McLaren driver got off to a strong start, gaining ground on the opening laps, and then settled in nicely for what looked set to be a top ten result.

However, after battling gearbox issues during the race, the situation finally became terminal on lap 68, forcing Rosenqvist into the pits and retirement.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s another disappointing day for us, unfortunately,” says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. “I think we had a top ten day. I had a good first stint, but then I started struggling with the tyres and was running in P9, P10. It’s a shame we had that mechanical issue and had to retire the car.

“This sport can be brutal at times and I’m going through a rough patch at the moment – that’s racing sometimes. I know we can turn it around, however, and that will be the clear target for the remaining races.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES resumes at Gateway, the final oval event of the campaign, on August 26-27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
