In hot conditions (26°C), the first practice session of the 2011 Monaco GP got underway, with Nick and Vitaly both getting out onto the famous street circuit.
It was a frenetic session with plenty of action on-track, including a burst water pipe bringing a short halt to proceedings 30 minutes in.
Vitaly went out for his installation lap on Pirelli's soft tyres and, despite reporting understeer and poor traction, posted a session-best time of 1min 18.733secs, leaving him in P9 having completed 16 laps.
Nick, meanwhile put in a best time of 1min 18.928secs, leaving him 11th fastest after the 90 minutes, following 19 laps of the track.
