NUERBURGRING, Germany (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel set the pace in practice for the German Grand Prix on Friday with no sign of the tyre blowouts which marred last weekend's British race at Silverstone.

Hamilton, who won at the Nuerburgring two years ago with McLaren, topped the timesheets for Mercedes in the first session ahead of German team mate Nico Rosberg while Red Bull's championship leader Vettel was only eighth fastest.
