With Nico Rosberg and Alex Wurz starting the 2007 Italian Grand Prix from eighth and thirteenth on the grid the race would get underway with Alonso starting from pole and team-mate Hamilton next to hi. The start would
see Alonso leading from Hamilton and Massa. Nico was down in eighth after lap one while Alex was now in twelfth.

The second lap would see Coullthard crash at the Curva Grande, seeing the Safety car been deployed. It appeared to be a failure with his front wing that caused the accident. It would take until lap seven before the Safety Car would return to the pit lane. Alonso was till leading from Hamilton with threatening to pass his team-mate.

Lap eight would see Button pass Nico for eighth while Alex remained in twelfth. Massa would pit on lap ten in what was an unscheduled stop. But he would return to the track only to slow and return to his garage to retire. Alonso was still leading from Hamilton and now Raikkonen. Fourth and fifth were the BMW's of Heidfeld and Kubica. Nico and Button would continue their fight over seventh. At one point Nico would cut a chicane in an attempt to pass the Honda but would have to back off and let Button take the position back. Trulli would pass Alex on lap sixteen and on lap eighteen Hamilton would pit from second. He would return in sixth. Nico was still in eighth some 41 seconds behind the leader.

Lap twenty and Alonso would also pit, taking on hard tyres. Kimi was now leading and on lap twenty one Nico would pass Button for seventh coming out of the first chicane. Several other drivers would pit including Heidfeld and Kubica. But it would take to lap twenty five before Raikkonen would pit. Nico would pit on lap thirty one swapping to the softer tyres. Alex would pit from seventh on lap thirty eight seeing Nico and Alex now in seventh and thirteenth. At the front Alonso was till leading from Hamilton and on lap forty Hamilton would make his second stop taking on soft tyres. Alonso was leading from Raikkonen and Hamilton now in third. But on lap forty three going into Turn one Hamilton would pass Raikkonen for second. The following lap and Alonso would pit. Kubica would move ahead of Nico and into fifth on lap forty six.

As the final laps counted down Alonso was cruising and Raikkonen in third had backed off so little was to change in these laps and it would be Alonso who would take the chequered flag to win the 2007 Italian Grand Prix. Nico came home in and excellent sixth but for Alex it was another race that would see a disappointing result, finishing in just thirteenth. The tope eight positions went to Alonso followed by Hamilton, Raikkonen, Heidfeld, Kubica, Nico, Kovalainen, and Button.

Another points scoring result for the AT&T Williams team should be encouraging for the team as they get ready for the next race in Belgium.
