Having seen their cars qualify in thirteenth and fifteenth the prospects for the AT&T Williams team in the 2009 German Grand Prix. were far from promising. For the second time Kazuki Nakajima had out-qualified his team-mate Nico Rosberg.

Nico would make a great start gaining several places to be in ninth. Kazuki was down in a disappointing seventeenth in the opening stages of the race. He had been hit by Trulli ruining his race.Nico would continue to run in ninth seeing him drop away from the eighth placed runner Sutil. At the front it was Barrichello leading from Webber but Red Bull driver would suffer a drive through penalty for making contact with Barrichello at the start. With pit stops Nico would move up to sixth and was able to set his quickest lap of the race so far.

As the race progressed Nico would move into second but would make his first stop on lap thirty one, returning on hard tyres. He would return in sixth, having started fifteenth. Nico's stop would see him move away from a fight between the likes of Sutil and Alonso.

Kazuki would make his first stop pitting from eleventh while Nico was now fourth as a result of drivers around him, in particular Barrichello suffering problems. Kazuki was now eighth but would stop again resuming in eleventh. At the front the order was Webber leading, despite a drive through penalty, Vettel, and Massa.

With the end of the race Nico would finish in an excellent fourth while Kazuki was in twelfth after having been passed in the closing stages of the race. A great result, given the poor starting positions of the team drivers in particular Nico. A great drive from Nico to make such a big gain at the start and then to show the pace necessary to see him move up to fourth.
