No, Max had some mechanical gremlins and basically coasted to 2nd place with Perez getting the win. Alonso was on the podium, then he wasn't because of a crazy post-race assigned penalty, then the penalty was rescinded and he was back on the podium.

The Safety Car was absolutely BS. The excuse apparently was that the GPS on the car indicated that it was still out on the track? ***. There's cameras everywhere and stewards everywhere, how about using eyes instead of GPS? It was 99% behind a wall, and in a position where it would be impossible to be hit by another driver in the race without breaking the laws of physics. Clearly there didn't even need to be a VSC let alone a full Safety Car. Two stewards could have pushed it forward from the front wheels without ever being anywhere near danger.
