When does "Dirty Air" become "Slipstreaming"

For example, in yesterday's F1 the first four cars got close to each other and were then apparently caught in the dirty air of the car in front, so became a parade to the finish. But often (well not much anymore) we see cars slipstreaming on the fast straights and overtaking.

How is it possible to get out of the dirty air and into the slipstream? Cos Schumacher Jnr couldn't do it.
