What are the consequences of Max Verstappen's actions in Brazil?

Max Verstappen's old antics were on show in Brazil, as the Dutchman made contact with Lewis Hamilton and refused team orders to let his teammate, Sergio Perez, through.

The Red Bull man and World Champion gave his reasons but it still left a very angry Sergio Perez and a disappointed Red Bull hierachy who appeared bemused by his refusal to cooperate with team orders

Verstappen seemed to be alluding to Checo's crash in Monaco which denied him pole position at the race in the principality, a Grand Prix won by his Mexican teammate. There now seems to be trouble in paradise, with the pair previously enjoying a very good relationship, with Max previously describing Perez as a "legend" when he held up Lewis Hamilton in Abu Dhabi last year, a move which seemed vital in him lifting the World Championship.

Max's actions came out of nowhere and has left more questions than answers.

Why did he do this though? And what could come his way following his actions?
