Felix Rosenqvist overcame a string of setbacks to perform a late recovery in Saturday\u2019s Sonsio Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, battling back to a top ten result.<\/strong>
\u00a0
On a less-than-perfect day of execution at the IMS road course, Rosenqvist faced an uphill challenge to claw back lost ground after a pair of slow pit stops and two off-track excursions, but eventually bagged his fourth top ten finish from the opening five NTT INDYCAR SERIES races of the season.\u00a0
\u00a0
Already on the back foot following an initial off in qualifying, Rosenqvist was restricted to 12th place on the grid for Saturday\u2019s 85-lap race, where all the aforementioned drama played out to hamper the Swede\u2019s progress.\u00a0
\u00a0
Briefly running outside the top 20 after a costly fuel issue on his first stop and a coming-together with rival Rinus Veekay in the early stages, Rosenqvist ultimately performed a strong fightback in the #60 Meyer Shank Racing Honda, overtaking several cars following a late restart to come home in P10.

\u201cI made too many mistakes today, to be honest,\u201d\u00a0says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cI went off twice and lost my cool a little bit after our first pit stop. We recovered well in the end with a top ten, but it was not my greatest race and I feel like we had pace for more. The same goes for qualifying where I made another mistake as well.\u00a0<\/em>
\u00a0
\u201cBeing in the top ten with such a poor race probably says something, I guess, and it\u2019s on me to do better next time. I am extremely motivated to do so, especially given what\u2019s waiting around the corner here at the Speedway.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES now shifts firmly into Indianapolis 500 mode, commencing practice for the blue-riband oval event on Tuesday (May 13). Qualifying plays out next weekend, and the race itself takes place on May 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
