Didn't see it, what happened? Why?

As the drivers were entering the grid from the pit lane gate, Max walked through being interviewed by some guy in a sport jacket and a microphone. Sky Sports people walked up and started talking to Max and as they did a man walked into frame from the left and just pushed the original interviewer backwards away from Max and back through the pit gates and everyone looked a bit shocked

I'm pretty sure only certain media are allowed to be on the grid and pay extra for that in comparison to media that has pit lane access. So that reporter probably wasnt supposed to go on the grid alongside Max.
Of course usually they wouldnt handle such a situation that roughly.
That was the case. Sky reporter, was in Natalie Pinkman, said to max something like he had no grid pass.
