Really? depends on how you're counting apparently. These are counted by which lap the race leader is in, which is usual.
And it didn't take LEC 2 laps to respond, but 1 lap and a part of a lap (as he was already past start/finish when PER pitted).
So LEC passed start /finish 1 time before he pitted after PER did.
Anyway, you're looking for excuses to proove your point....
this is not important at all and certainly not worth to label it "completely incorrect"...

Redbull did absolutely nothing spectacular in strategy, they did only standard things that any team does when behind and that's either undercut or overcut, Ferrari just messed up.

PER won not because ferrari messed up, but because he was better. Him coming in earlier than LEC gave him the pass. Thats superior strategy.
You say to "either undercut or overcut"...what's that kind of an argument?!?
summing up both possibilities. Don't you understand that only one of them works in favour at that time? The strategy is choosing the right one at the right time. RB chose the right one. Ferrari the wrong one.
Ferrari messing up with the double box gave Max 3rd, but wouldn't have made single difference for PER winning.
Keeping out on wets and go to slicks in 1 go also wasn't the right strategy.... PER overtook SAI that way.
So PER/RB won through:
1. choosing the right time to go to intermediates (passing LEC)
2. choosing the right tyre strategy (passing SAI)
So beating ferrari's strategy not once, but twice.
I call that superior.
But you're as usual the Debbie Downer when RB wins...
