The ridiculous F1 near-miss that must never happen again

“It could have been a big big one today” - those were the words of Esteban Ocon as F1 narrowly avoided at disaster at the end of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Personnel were allowed into the pitlane before the end of the race in Baku - crucially when a car was still due to come in for a pitstop.
Ocon held on until the start of the final lap to make his stop, but when he arrived in the pit entry he was greeted with scrambling people who were getting into position around the Parc ferme barriers where the leading cars stop after the race.
So how did this happen, what did the FIA say about it, and how can a repeat be avoided?
