Giorgio Pantano has had a frustrating GP2 season to date but on Friday at the Nurburgring he put his Super Nova Racing car on pole position for the first GP2 race on Saturday. Lining up alongside him will be Nico Rosberg (ART Grand Prix) while series leader Heikki Kovalainen was third for Arden International. Gianmaria Bruni remains on the pace in his Coloni Motorsport entry with Neel Jani leading the way for Racing Engineering in fifth. The top 10 was completed by Jose-Maria Lopez (DAMS), Ernesto Viso (BCN), Alexandre Premat (ART Grand Prix) and Hiroki Yoshimoto (BCN).

It was a bad day for Scott Speed (iSport International) who was only 11th while Adam Carroll (Super Nova) was 13th and Nelson Piquet Jr. in 14th.
