The Grand Prix of Monterey started out tough for Rosenqvist as problems during qualifying started him pretty far down the grid, but he fought from 14th to an impressive fifth place. 

“You know, this weekend was our time to sort of end the season on a high, and starting 14th is not normally the way to do that,” Rosenqvist said. “I tried to use that little bit of anger to go forward today.”
