Karl Felix Helmer Rosenqvist (born 7 November 1991) is a Swedish professional racing driver who currently drives the No. 60 Honda for Meyer Shank Racing in the NTT IndyCar Series. He won the 2026 Indianapolis 500 with MSR. He was named the 2019 IndyCar Rookie of the Year.

Rosenqvist started his single-seater career in Asia, where he won the 2008 Formula Renault 2.0 Asia and 2009 Formula Renault 2.0 Sweden/NEZ titles.

In 2010, Rosenqvist was fifth in the German Formula Three Championship with two victories, eight podiums, and one pole position. He also attended the 2010 Macau Grand Prix Formula Three where he finished ninth after having qualified seventh in his debut with the same Swedish/British racing team Performance Racing.

For 2011, Rosenqvist graduated to the Formula 3 Euro Series with the Mücke Motorsport team, where he finished fifth with one win, ten podiums, and five fastest laps, and won the Masters of Formula 3 in his rookie year.

In 2012, Rosenqvist finished third in the 2012 European Formula 3 Championship and finished second in Macau Grand Prix.

The year after, Rosenqvist narrowly missed out on the 2013 European Formula 3 Championship title to Raffaele Marciello, however winning the Masters of Formula 3 for a second time from pole position. In Macau Grand Prix he started the race from the front row but collided with Raffaele Marciello and Pipo Derani to retire in the first lap.

In his fourth year with Mücke Motorsport, Rosenqvist finished eighth in the 2014 European Formula 3 Championship in a disappointing campaign. He ended the year with a very welcomed win in the 2014 Macau Grand Prix from pole position ahead of teammate Lucas Auer

In 2015, Rosenqvist switched to Prema Powerteam, claiming the 2015 European Formula 3 Championship title with thirteen victories, 24 podiums, and seventeen pole positions. He would also take his second consecutive victory in the 2015 Macau Grand Prix, again from pole position. His extended Formula 3 career meant that he would become the most successful Formula 3 racer of all time.

In February 2016, Rosenqvist announced that he would compete in the 2016 Indy Lights series for Belardi Auto Racing as he failed to bring the budget for a continued programme in GP2 Series with Prema Powerteam. Rosenqvist had a reduced programme in the series, competing in only ten of the eighteen races, as he later in the season would have clashing commitments with his sportscar programme with Mercedes-Benz in Europe. He scored three wins in his campaign. He had a successful test in IndyCar with Chip Ganassi Racing at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, saying he would be happy to return to the American racing scene later in his career.

Rosenqvist joined the 2016 Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup together with French Tristan Vautier, driving a Mercedes-AMG GT3 for AKKA-ASP Team, where they together scored one victory, three podiums out of the ten races and finished seventh in the overall standings. The same duo together with Renger van der Zande lined up for the classic 2016 24 Hours of Spa where they reached second place after all Mercedes-Benz cars had been given a five-minute stop and go penalty.

Rosenqvist started 2016 with a role as official reserve driver, having continued his long partnership with Mercedes-Benz before being promoted to a race seat with one of the cars run by ART Grand Prix following Esteban Ocon's departure to Manor Racing in Formula One. He made an impressive debut in Moscow where he finished tenth and scored points in his first-ever race in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters.

On 12 June 2021, at the first of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix weekend doubleheader, Rosenqvist suffered a significant crash on lap 28 as his car experienced a stuck throttle and as a result, his car crashed hard into the wall. He did not suffer any life-threatening injuries but was taken to a downtown Detroit hospital for further evaluation.

On 5 September 2023, Meyer Shank Racing announced that Rosenqvist would drive the No. 60 Honda in a multi-year deal beginning in the 2024 season. In the early portion of the season, Rosenqvist lead a significant uptick in performance at Meyer Shank Racing, starting near the front of the field at St. Petersburg and taking pole at Long Beach, the latter of which gave Meyer Shank Racing their first ever IndyCar pole position. He then had a mid-season slump, including at the 2024 Indianapolis 500. He finished the season with 306 points, 12th in the standings. In 2025, he had a big step forward with MSR. He sat 4th in points after 3 races. At the 2025 Indianapolis 500, he qualified for the Firestone Fast Six, qualified 5th for the race and finished 4th in the race. He then followed that up with a 2nd at Road America after charging from 12th, tying MSR's best non-Indy 500 result. He finished 6th in points with 372 pts.

In 2026, he had a rough first four races, finishing outside the top ten in each. He earned the pole position at Long Beach and earned a podium finish. Rosenqvist started the month of May with a twenty-third place DNF at the Indianapolis Road Course. For the Indianapolis 500, he was the fastest through the first two rounds of qualifying. He qualified for the Firestone Fast Six, qualifying 4th for the race. In what would be the closest finish in the race’s history, he beat David Malukas to the line by the closest margin of victory in race history, 0.0233 seconds, to win his first Indianapolis 500.

Rosenqvist is known to be a street circuit specialist, having won and earned poles at St. Petersburg, Toronto, Grand Prix de Pau, Norisring, Macau Grand Prix (two wins) and Long Beach, where he has started countless times from the front row.
