Felix Rosenqvist re-signs with McLaren but could move from IndyCar to Formula E

McLaren Racing isn’t done with Felix Rosenqvist, signing the Swedish driver to a multiyear contract extension without designating whether he would remain in the NTT IndyCar Series.

McLaren indicated Rosenqvist could be shifted to its new Formula E program when it launches in 2023.

“McLaren Racing is currently in the process of evaluating its driver lineups for 2023 with the newly formed McLaren Formula E Team set to embark on its debut season in the all-electric racing series, and plans to expand Arrow McLaren SP into a three-car team with Felix set to be driving in one of the two series,” the team said.

Rosenqvist is in his second season driving the No. 7 in IndyCar for McLaren, but the team is expanding to three cars next season and already has announced 2016 Indy 500 winner Alexander Rossi will be part of the lineup.

The jockeying for Rosenqvist’s seat has flipped over the last few months with reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou, six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon, rising star Rinus VeeKay and Rosenqvist all mentioned as possibilities.
