Rosenqvist Dejected as Indy 500 Pole Slips Away

Felix Rosenqvist was left dejected after his dominant qualifying performance failed to secure pole position at the Indianapolis 500, despite posting the fastest four-lap average of 232.599mph.

The 34-year-old Swede had been practically untouchable throughout qualifying but saw his pole position hopes slip away in the final moments. His stunning speed of 232.599mph across four laps was the fastest run of the entire day during the 'all cars' portion of qualifying.

Rosenqvist described the disappointing outcome as 'a little bit of déjà vu' as he reflected on another near-miss at the prestigious event. rocore.sbs
