There were simply far, far fewer passes and almost no lead changes on track. That's a fact you cannot deny. We were promised the opposite, because the myth that less downforce = better racing still persists.
Regarding overtaking, bear in mind the track was green as it had rained the previous night and the track needed to rubber in, which it did during the course of the race.

The other thing to bear in mind is, this is a 500 mile race not a sprint race and I don't expect drivers to go hell for leather and overtake each other at every opportunity, this race requires a measured approach, which was exemplified by Will Power.
