LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) â Felix Rosenqvist and Rinus VeeKay returned to their cars at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Friday, where they were welcome sights in the IndyCar paddock but neither dazzled in their return from injury.
Rosenqvist was out two races following a crash last month at Detroit, an impact so severe the Swede was shocked it was concussion-like symptoms keeping him out of the car rather than a broken bone.
âYou only have one brain,” Rosenqvist said.
Rosenqvist was fast in his return to Arrow McLaren SP but spun to bring out a red-flag during the only practice session. He was 13th overall on the day, but just half a second off teammate Pato OâWard.
