Felix Rosenqvist started in 14th place in the Indy 500 which was decided in Indianapolis, USA, yesterday. After the 200 laps, the Swede had moved up two places and finished twelfth.

- It feels like it has been two tough weeks for me even though I had a very good car. It has been a bit of a brain ghost that has been deceived so I am quite happy with this, says Felix Rosenqvist to SVT Sport.

The 28-year-old says that he is happy with the end of the race but that he still customers made better choices during the 200 laps.

- The end of raceat felt great but it is important to be there the whole raceat to have a chance at the end, he says and continues:

- I have gone a little up and down these two weeks but everyone here is very good and it is tough just lyc kas to drive a car.

Normally there are around 300,000 fans on site when the competition is decided, but due to the pandemic, the competition was decided in front of empty stands.

- I actually did not think much about it. But it is clear that it is strange. There are usually even 20,000-40,000 people in training and now it was 0.0. We miss the fans who build the mystery around the race.

Takuma Sato, Japan, won the competition where Marcus Ericsson crashed and was forced to break.
