The big thing before the race were the penalties. Sebastian Vettel got a three place grid penalty for causing collision at the previous race. Kimi Raikkonen got a five place grid penalty for changing his gear box.
Finally Button got a grid drop of 35 places due to an engine change which dropped him to the back of the grid and potentially ruined his race.

The Ferrari team is struggling immensely having dropped behind Red Bull in the constructors championship naturally prompting Sebastian Vettel to take calculated risks in order to gain positions.
