Meyer Shank Racing announced Wednesday that Indianapolis 500 champion Felix Rosenqvist will part ways with the team at the end of the current season, with the driver confirming he has accepted an offer from a competing IndyCar outfit for 2027.
The 34-year-old Swedish driver notified MSR of his decision to move on, though the name of his future team has not been officially disclosed. Industry reports have suggested his next destination could be Andretti Global or Arrow McLaren.
MSR co-owner Mike Shank expressed disappointment over the departure in a statement to RACER. “It’s unfortunate that Felix has decided to move on from MSR at the end of the season, particularly given everything we’ve accomplished together, including this year’s Indy 500 victory,” Shank said.
Shank also acknowledged Rosenqvist’s broader impact on the organization. “Over the past several years, Felix has played an important role in helping build this program into what it is today, and we’re grateful for his contributions both on and off the track.”
Rosenqvist drove the No. 60 MSR Honda to victory at the Indianapolis 500 on May 24, a win that marked his second career victory and his first since triumphing at Road America in 2020 while racing for Arrow McLaren. Earlier in the season, he also claimed a second-place finish at Long Beach on April 19, giving him two podium appearances so far this year.
Rosenqvist joined Meyer Shank Racing in 2024 and currently sits sixth in the overall IndyCar Series standings.
Despite the news, Shank made clear the team remains focused on the remainder of the season. “There are still eight races left on the schedule, and everyone at MSR remains fully committed to achieving the strongest results possible in the championship and delivering for our partners,” he said.
“While we wish Felix nothing but success in the next chapter of his career, our focus at MSR is on the future and ensuring we have the right driver in place for the 2027 season,” Shank added.
