The first 90-minute free practice session at the Fuji Speedway got under way at 10.00 am on Friday morning. Under the sunny Japanese skies the session was completed without any major problems for anyone.
There was just one yellow flag in this session when Nick Heidfeld spun his BMW Sauber F1 at turn 10 half way into the session.
Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa topped the time sheets for most of the session. With just seven points between the two of them in the championship standings it can become an exciting weekend for them.
Force India F1 driver Adrian Sutil scored his first and only F1 championship point here at the Fuji Speedway last year and showed once more he feels at home at the Japanese track as the German ended 11th.
The only Japanese driver, Kazuki Nakajima, was at the bottom of the time sheets for most of the session but in the end finished 10th in front of his home crowd.
