Felix Rosenqvist on the crazy racing life

New week and new episode of “Plattan i mattan” – Sportbladet’s F1 podcast.

And it’s not just an episode, but the podcast is visited only by Swedish Indycar star Felix Rosenqvist.

It’s an adrenaline rush Felix Rosenqvist Which takes place in this week’s episode of Plattan i mattan. Who barely had time to breathe a sigh of relief after this weekend’s chaotic GMR Grand Prix, in which the Swede finished sixth.

– It was too crazy. It was incredibly rainy and it was very hard to see. All you see is a flashing light in the foreground. The rest is gray fog and accordingly you should drive at 300 km / h and drive around people. There was talk afterward about whether they should really have been blown away by it.

The craziest person wins. It’s just a matter of taking big risks and being lucky. Fun, but after a race like this, it’s good to just finish, because there are a lot of who didn’t.

Rosenqvist is now recharging before the weekend, as they come together to qualifiers for the world’s largest racing show, the Indianapolis 500, and on the podcast there is talk of recharging before the weekend, about the difference between Formula 1 and Indycar, about how the teams are working to change Car to the big race on May 29th. And so about what it’s like to drive 200 laps on an oval, how to handle cars in Varnamo and in that time he drove 300 jerks over Hallandsasen.

What is the fastest speed you’ve ever run?

On the track at 242 mph, about 390 km/h. On the road exactly 300 km / h on the counter, on an ordinary road. in Hallandassen.

Is this true? Hallandasin?

– Yajiman. It was with a BMW, bit and stuff, so it didn’t have a latch. We had to check it out so it wouldn’t be. It was fun.

Do you get a pulse then?

Yes, so it’s more dangerous to drive 300 on a normal road than 400 in Indianapolis. But that was when I was young and stupid. Now I’ll probably be committed to 110. I’ve already started to drive that kind of driving after retirement now.
