Felix Rosenqvist, who has driven Indy Lights the past two seasons along with Formula E, has been signed to pilot the number 10 NTT Data Honda in 2019 for Chip Ganassi Racing, replacing Ed Jones and becoming another of multiple different teammates in past seasons to Scott Dixon.
"To say I'm thrilled or excited to be making this step in my career would be an understatement," Rosenqvist said. "Coming to IndyCar and driving for Chip is just a dream come true. I've followed the team for as long as I can remember, and it's the kind of team and owner any driver would want to race for. Scott has had another tremendous season with three wins and a fifth title, so you absolutely couldn't ask for anything more in a teammate. I can't wait to start contributing to the team and getting to spend more time with everyone at NTT Data.
"Felix has become familiar with our team and has worked in our system a little bit after coming over to test with us on a few occasions." said Chip Ganassi, the team owner. "Our management and engineering groups, along with the entire team, were impressed by his ability. The time was right to get him in the No. 10 car, and I think I speak for alot of people when I say that we are confident about what he can do behind the wheel next season.
The 2019 IndyCar season will begin on Mar. 10 in St Petersburg and conclude on Sep. 22 at Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca.
