Heidfeld began 2009 in Australia by qualifying in 11th place and finishing 10th in the race. At the Malaysian Grand Prix, Heidfeld again qualified in 11th, but started 10th as Sebastian Vettel was issued a 10 place drop (for an incident caused in Australia with Heidfeld's team-mate Kubica). The race was stopped due to torrential rain on the 33rd lap, when Heidfeld was third, but as set out in the regulations, the result was taken at the end of the penultimate completed lap, when Heidfeld had been running second.

Because less than 75% of the race distance had been covered, the drivers only received half points. He scored a further 2 points at the Spanish Grand Prix, and finished 5th at Spa to score another 4 points. A seventh place finish at the Italian Grand Prix added a further 2 points to his 2009 tally.
In Singapore, Heidfeld’s run of 41 consecutive classified finishes was brought to an end, thanks to a collision with Force India’s Adrian Sutil.
Heidfeld's future in Formula One is currently uncertain, following BMW's decision to withdraw from the sport at the end of the 2009 season. However, rumours link him to a seat at Renault, Toyota or McLaren, if they choose not to sign Kimi Räikkönen
