Usually they switch to SC when the barriers are very close to the track. That way it gives the marshalls a big 3 minute block at a time without a car coming by as they're behind SC in a bunch. But it doesn't really apply at Paul Ricard because the barriers are further away than the horizon.
Not really sure the SC was needed for this one. FCY would've been good enough. Doesn't appear to be an attempt at fixing the barrier either. Edit: They're going to stick tyres in front of it. Fair enough.
