So, how many laps before Max is back on P1?

My money is on 10. Just to be cautious, he'll lose a place or 2 at the start, and then he'll start overtaking about one car per lap.

It should take at least a pit stop if he can even do it. Both Sainz and Russell should logically put everything in stopping Verstappen from overtaking to maximize the chances of their teammates.

Edit: well if the other drivers still think they don't need to race him he will win ofcourse. I don't get why Sainz wasn't defending a lot harder though.
