New Zealander Scott McLaughlin has finished third in the Indianapolis 500, with Felix Rosenqvist claiming a record-setting result in one of motorsport's most demanding races.
The podium continues McLaughlin's strong record at the Brickyard, where he has repeatedly shown the qualifying speed and race-day patience the 500 demands. Track position, fuel strategy and late-race restarts once again shaped the outcome.
For New Zealand motorsport followers, the result adds to a long line of Kiwi performances at Indianapolis and keeps McLaughlin among the drivers expected to contend each May.
Rosenqvist's finish was the standout statistical note of the race, a reminder that the 500 still produces marks that outlast the day itself.
McLaughlin now turns back to the wider IndyCar season, where consistency across road courses, street circuits and ovals decides the championship.
