Linus Lundqvist

Linus Lundqvist is a 25-year-old Swedish racing driver with a rapidly ascending career in open-wheel racing. Born on March 26, 1999, Lundqvist has already amassed an impressive resume, highlighted by multiple championship titles. He secured the 2016 Formula STCC Nordic crown, followed by the 2018 BRDC British Formula 3 Championship, demonstrating his talent early on. In 2020, he added the Formula Regional Americas Championship to his accomplishments, paving the way for his entry into the IndyCar scene.

Lundqvist's journey continued with a successful stint in Indy Lights (now Indy NXT). In 2022, he dominated the series, clinching the championship with HMD Motorsports with Dale Coyne Racing. This success propelled him to the NTT IndyCar Series, where he made his debut in 2023 with Meyer Shank Racing as a substitute driver. In 2024, Lundqvist joined Chip Ganassi Racing for his first full IndyCar season.

Despite a challenging 2025 season where he did not secure a seat despite a multi-year contract, his achievements in 2024 speak for themselves. He earned Rookie of the Year honors and also secured his first IndyCar pole position at the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America. His performance at Barber Motorsports Park, where he charged from 19th to 3rd, earning his first IndyCar podium, further solidified his potential as a rising star in the sport.
