The AT&T Williams team would have a disappointing day with their drivers finishing in twelfth and fifteenth, with Rubens Barrichello leading home team-mate Nico Hulkenberg. It was a race where the changeable weather played a major part in the race with conditions going from wet to day and back to wet during the course of the race.

Both Williams drivers would start the race on the softer tyre with the track wet but not wet enough for an intermediate tyre. but for the Williams team the start of the race would see both drivers involved in an accident caused by the spinning Force India of Liuzzi. Liuzzi would spin his car under braking ending the race for Buemi and Kobayashi. Rubens would also become involved in the accident seeing him forced to pit.

Team-mate Nico was lucky to get through the accident but had to run wide to avoid the debris. The accident would see the Safety Car come out and there was a rush of drivers coming into change onto intermediate tyres. But the circuit was not quite wet enough for them and drivers were forced back to the pits to change tyres. Both Williams drivers would swap onto the harder tyre. But the rain would start to fall again heavier this time seeing both Williams drivers pit for intermediate tyres. By the end of the race Rubens would pit a further time while Nico would pit an additional three times.

Rubens would be involved in a fight with Alonso during the race but it was only for twelfth. Rubens was up to seventh by lap twenty but this would be the best he would achieve. For Nico his race was hampered by the weather with the Williams driver having pitted taking on slicks only to have the rain start again forcing him back into the pits. Nico would lose control of his car at the final turn but was able to continue. The Safety car would again be deployed as a result of debris on the track and when the race restarted on lap twenty six there would nearly be a multiple car accident when leader Button slowed the field down catching those drivers following out.

Both Rubens and Nico would complete the race but would finish way down the order. The race was won by McLaren's Jenson Button who made the right decisions in regard to when to come in to change tyres. It was certainly a race where the end result was always in doubt with even leader Button making a mistake with a few as five laps remaining. But for the Williams team it was again a race where, even with the difficulties in the opening lap, they lacked the pace to challenge for any points.
