With the lights turning green on the Yes Marina circuit, Jahan was ready to start the flight. The driver secured the lead as he jumped ahead at Turn 1, while Dan Ticktum fell down to P4, while third starting Felipe Dragovich went to P2. Dragovich began to pressure Jahn for the top spot and twice attempted to pass the Red Bull Racing Junior driver on the first lap. But the Indian defended his position well.
Jahan won the race comfortably with a gap of about 2 seconds in the final laps
Dragovich tried once more at the halfway point of the race and fell from inside Jahan. It looked like Brazil would have its way this time, but Jahan was not going to back down and held the lead till the checkered flag. The driver seemed to have pushed the car and the tires too hard at one point early in the race. The driver was constantly absorbing excessive pressure from strikes but did a good job of preserving the life of his tires through the race. The Indian racer set up a comfortable 2s lead over Dragovich as he dominated every lap till the end.
The top ten drivers in this race will be reversed for the start of the sprint race tomorrow, which will see Jehan start from P10.
