That's not true.
PER already passed LEC with his first stop to inters; this was an undercut that worked very good. (PER came in in lap 17, LEC in lap 18, PER passes LEC when he is in the pitlane)
PER later passed SAI when SAI came in for slicks. (SAI didn't come in for inters and thus lost time)
Only VER profited from the Ferrari screw up; in that ~4-5 sec LEC lost with the pitincedent, Max could pass LEC, but that PER won the race was pure pitstop strategy. When to come in and when not to.
So without that Ferrari screw up the outcome would be
1. PER
2. SAI
3. LEC
4. VER
And then probably with team orders SAI and LEC would have swapped places (or LEC might have just come on track before SAI). But the ferrari screw up resulted only for LEC to loose 1 place. That person happened to be Max.
