Hamilton passed Vettel in Turn 7, one of the fastest corners of the track. That had nothing to do with KERS, but everything with Vettel's completely worn tyres. Massa and Alonso also fell back at the end of the race, again illustrating that the 2 stop strategy was wrong.
Of course all this is completely
