Its all a bit over the top. Headmaster's study and all that

For sure there are limits on access to Parc Ferme, as there should be and it does need to be controlled and managed but the way it was handled here was OTT, agree completely.
The thing that stands out to me is that the FIA is able to take the little driver weight scales down into the pitlane after qual and after a sprint race but then don't do that for the Grand Prix, instead keeping the scales in the break room, thus lengthening the time significantly between drivers getting out of their cars and being weighed.
To me that seems like the FIA simply being slack and not on the ball - resulting in suspended fines for drivers - ridiculous really.
