Verstappen and Russell's incident: Smash or crash?

As Verstappen felt aggrieved by Russell pushing him off track into Turn 1, he was later instructed by Red Bull to let Russell through. The Dutchman, clearly angry let race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase have a piece of his mind.

Then as Verstappen seemed to slow to let Russell through into Turn 5, he sped up and his car did not steer until it hit Russell's Mercedes.

The Dutchman was handed a 10 second time penalty which demoted him from P5 to P10. However, the amount of penalty points he'll take on his license is still unknown.
