I think that the overtaking was generally down to one driver having less worn tyres or softer tyres than another driver. Button quickly got passed Webber and Alonso. Vettel also quickly got passed those on older or harder tyres.
Christian Horner says that their qualifying form is down to the cars ability to use its tyres well in qualifying whilst still having an acceptable tyre performance in the race. But then again, maybe he would say that!?
