Rookie Blomqvist, in only his second meeting in the series, improved his time in the final five minutes of the session to deny Ekström, who had been on top of the times since the opening ten minutes of the 45-minute session.

Reigning champion Marco Wittmann was third fastest, having also leapt up the timesheets late on in the session. The next four positions were occupied by Audi drivers, with Jamie Green fourth fastest ahead of Mike Rockenfeller, Edoardo Mortara and Timo Scheider.

BMW’s Maxime Martin was eighth, ahead of the top Mercedes-Benz of Robert Wickens in ninth, with the Canadian 0.584 seconds off the pace. Audi’s Miguel Molina completed the top ten, meaning the Ingolstadt marque had six of its eight cars inside the top ten.

Mercedes’ drivers seemed to struggle for pace at one of their historical form circuits, with six of their eight drivers in the bottom ten positions. Brit Gary Paffett was unable to complete any laps during the session due to a fuel pick-up problem.

Second practice takes place at 12:25 CEST on Saturday (11:25 BST).
