Felix Rosenqvist won the closest ever Indianapolis 500, edging David Malukas by two-hundredths of a second … begging the question, are there hard feelings between the champ and his rival driver?!

That’s what TMZ Sports asked the 34-year-old this week in NYC, just days removed from the “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”

Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.

“No [bad blood], we had a great chat at the red carpet, at the banquet, and we hugged it out. I could tell he was happy for me,” Rosenqvist revealed.

Felix added … “I’ve been in his shoes, as well. When you’re so close. It was really cool to see all the drivers congratulating me, and I felt like a lot of them were truly happy for me, so we’ll see it as a win for the sport with a finish we were able to produce.”

If you missed the race, the last lap was all gas, no brakes … literally.

Malukas was in first, while Rosenqvist was in third place … behind his Meyer Shank Racing teammate Marcus Armstrong.

Felix and Marcus jockeyed for position, and it looked like David had the win locked up … heading into the final corner.

But that’s when Rosenqvist made his move, slingshotting around the first-place car … crossing the finish line .0233 seconds ahead of Malukas — the closest ever finish at the Indy 500.

Felix also talked about the iconic milk celly … a tradition at the race.

“I was always gonna pour it over me. I wanted it to be on the car as well. So I was standing in the seat. I had a pretty hefty gulp. I drank a lot of it. I was pretty dehydrated. And then I was like, ‘Let’s do it!’ And the milk just poured over my hat, it was like a complete shield. It was like a waterfall. It got all over the car,” Rosenqvist said.

“It was great. It was the way I wanted to do it, for sure.”
