I think its possible, as we saw. But its only possible if your 3-4 seconds a lap faster. With the long race distance, and variety of fuel strategies, we did see some overtaking as extra fuel made a greater difference than in a normal race.

But overtaking seemed hard, if you look at Kubica and Massa, once at the back, they were unable to do anything about it. Or we can look at Alonso, when he had track position I didn't think he had a chance, but as soon as Fisichella went into the pits, his lap times dropped 2 seconds, highlighting how difficult it was to overtake a car.
