Felix Rosenqvist crashed very hard during the first race of the IndyCar weekend in Detroit. The Swede had to stay in hospital last night, but now it has been announced that the 29-year old driver has been discharged and can go home.

The crash was reportedly caused by a sticking throttle. The impact was huge, but Rosenqvist seems to have escaped without serious injuries.
