There was one point where I saw that Hamilton was ahead of a Toyota, but Glock finished 5th so it could well of been him, they didn't show or mention Hamilton passing Trulli, and Hamilton was a good second at least behind Trulli after he past Rosberg, so I'm really confused by it.

The amazing thing is, in 2 and a half weeks, Hamilton might win that race.
Trulli went onto the grass at a corner that wasn't picked up by the cameras, Hamilton went past Trulli into 3rd, then believed he had to surrender the posistion back as you're not allowed to overtake under the Safety Car (and we all know how much the FIA like to jump on Hamiltons mistakes), so Hamiltion slowed to let Trulli back into 3rd. It states in the rules that you may overtake under the safety car if the car being overtaken leaves the track, or has a problem, so Lewis was entitled to 3rd, and Trulli shouldn't have re-overtaked Hamilton.
