The Indianapolis Grand Prix was full of accidents on Saturday and IndyCar star Christian Lundgaard took his first victory since 2023.
Felix Rosenqvist was involved in one of the scariest accidents of the day. He was entering turn 13 of the road course on lap 29 when he pulled alongside Pato O’Ward and went airborne. Rosenqvist attempted to drive through the wreckage, but his vehicle was too damaged.

He finished in 23rd place after starting the race in third place.
Rosenqvist’s accident was one of the few that occurred in the field. The drivers who traded paint started early, as there were hits on the frontstretch to take the green flag before Turn 1. As the drivers entered Turn 1, a handful of drivers were caught in a spin. Rosenqvist was also involved in that incident.

The biggest leadership change came at the end. Lundgaard passed David Malukas with 18 laps remaining. He held off all other drivers for the rest of the race to capture the victory.
