Felix Rosenqvist continued his impressive early form to start the season with a strong surge to take pole for Sunday’s Grand Prix of Long Beach.
The 32-year-old Swede saved his best for last after pushing to a quick lap of 1m06.0172s around the 11-turn, 1.968-mile temporary street circuit, giving Meyer Shank Racing its first-ever pole in the IndyCar Series. It is the sixth pole of Rosenqvist’s career. Rosenqvist managed to capture the top spot by a narrow 0.0039 of a second over Team Penske’s Will Power, who overcame two incidents earlier in the day during second practice to qualify second.
8349s lap but was quickly dethroned by Rosenqvist’s flyer at 1m06.4019s and then went even quicker the next lap with a 1m06.3372s performance. Herta jumped to second at 0.1873s lap, ahead of Dixon at 0.2569s. Power, Palou and Rahal also managed to advance out of the first group. Rossi narrowly missed the cut, with his No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet off by 0.0439s. He qualified best of the rest in 13th. Rookies Tom Blomqvist and Linus Lundqvist locked up the next two spots behind Rossi.
