I was watching the GPS track positions too - it is offered by the BBC on their website.
If they came back into traffic but ahead of Webber, which they would have, then they would be no more disadvantaged than Webber who would have to negotiate the same traffic, but they would have track position. At the time they would have come back in front of Barrichello and Webber was held up behind Barrichello.
