Actually you've got that backwards. Hamilton completely disregarded his tires and put in as many "qualifying" laps as he could to open up a big enough gap so he could pit for fresh tires. That put him only a few seconds down from Vettal and Alonso. Alonso was running on old tires and just didn't have to grip to hold off the charging cars behind him.
