Typically on street courses, the metal covers are welded in pre-practice; ground-effects cars suck them up otherwise.
Kind of a rookie error by whoever was prepping the track surface.
Manhole cover was bolted down. The housing itself lifted along with the road surface. Some of the smartest minds in the world work in F1, I'm guessing this was a highly unforseen issue. I don't see the logic in docking Ferrari the ten grid spots for a chassis change considering it was a new facility issue outside of their own control.
