Verstappen-Russell incident in the Spanish GP

https://leminal.space/post/20757797

Red Bull Racing took multiple Ls here:

1 - putting the hard tires on (this one goes to the team engineer) 2 - asking Max to give the position back after he was clearly pushed (this one goes to the team engineer too) 3 - crashing into Russell (this one goes to Max)

If they avoided this three dumb mistakes Max could have ended 4th, he would have had it difficult because of the lack of grip, but at the very least he wouldn’t have been penalized.

I am wondering if he would have been penalized if he would not have given the position back
