I'm not sure gearing is too much of an issue as they can run DRS whenever they want in Qual, and they use it, and as you know they can't change a thing after qual (well top 10 anyway).

It's just that they run into the same issues they would normally face, better than expected track conditions, use of KERS, and just sometimes both of these and a perfect tow really leaves them banging the rev limit (Red Bulls) while a more streamlined car (Renault) can get away with just using KERS too hold them off as they already have a higher top speed in general running.
