Jehan, on the inside, defended robustly going into the second chicane to come out ahead.<\/p>\n<div class=\"osv-ad-class\" style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;height: 375px;margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A brief safety car followed and while Jehan held his position at the restart, Sargeant slip-streamed past him soon after.
