Alexander Rossi is an American racing driver whose career has spanned open-wheel, endurance, and top-flight international competition. Before establishing himself in IndyCar, Rossi competed in Formula One, making five Grand Prix starts in 2015, a rare achievement for an American driver in the modern era. He first drew wide attention in American open-wheel racing with a rookie victory at the Indianapolis 500 in 2016 with Bryan Herta Autosport, a result that remains a signature moment of his career. Rossi has also found success in sports car racing, winning the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2021. He now competes for Pfaff Motorsports in the IndyCar Series.[1]
Across 143 career starts, Rossi has recorded 6 wins and 26 podiums, though he has yet to secure a series championship. His Racer Rating of 5,246 places him 194th among active drivers on the database's Elo-style scale, reflecting a competitive but not top-tier current standing relative to the sport's leading performers. In the 2026 season, Rossi has yet to register a win or podium through 10 rounds, sitting 16th in the standings. Now competing with Pfaff Motorsports, he continues to pursue a return to the sharper form that once made him one of the more prominent American names in open-wheel racing.[2]
