Vitaly Petrov led the way for Lotus Renault GP at a chilly and cloudy Nürburgring for the first practice session of the German Grand Prix.

Using chassis R31-05, Vitaly set the eleventh fastest time of the session with a lap of 1min 34.094secs. During the course of the ninety-minute session he used both of Pirelli's white-marked medium and yellow-marked soft tyres. Late in the session, Vitaly changed front wing.

Nick, who in chassis R31-04 was running a different exhaust system from Vitaly, set the fifteenth fastest time of the morning. He used only Pirelli's white-marked medium specification tyre.

Fastest in FP1 was Ferrari's Fernando Alonso with a time of 1m 31.894secs.
