Felix Rosenqvist and David Malukas climb after historic Indy 500

It is official: the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 has completely shaken up our view of the field. Felix Rosenqvist is the man of the hour, vaulting five spots to fourth after snatching the biggest win of his career. That finish, a .0233-second gap over David Malukas, was the closest in the history of the "500." It is an incredible turnaround for the Swede, who has now appeared in the rankings for three consecutive races.

Speaking of Malukas, his consistency is simply stunning. By finishing second at both the Sonsio Grand Prix and the "500," he has climbed to second in the rankings—a personal best for him. Even with the heartbreak of losing by inches, his run of six consecutive top-seven finishes makes him a force to be reckoned with. He now sits just 37 points back of Alex Palou, who maintains the top spot after another dominant month, leading 82 combined laps at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Elsewhere, the rankings saw Pato O’Ward charge into third following his fourth-place finish, while Scott McLaughlin makes a return to the list at eighth. It was a tougher outing for others; Christian Lundgaard slipped to fifth after a 17th-place finish, and Kyle Kirkwood dropped to sixth. As we head to the streets of Detroit, the momentum in this field is shifting rapidly.
