FIA is partly to blame for all this to happen. They failed to penalize Hamilton for a (even possible lethal) mistake in England, which opened the door to more and even harder fighting. The 10 seconds punishment in Silverstone was no were near the disadvantage that Red Bull suffered and is still suffering (repairs, new engine, loss of 25 points). He has done it multiple times in the past and never got a real penalty for it.
Hamilton is making errors when he is under severe pressure. He knows Max is the faster car at that moment and he blocks him. He could have taken a different track position, as he did on other occasions. So he deliberately took a different line on cold tires. Max could have backed out, but since he was the faster car, he went for the opportunity that was ahead (Hamilton didn't close the door on the straight, but only after the first corner).
Both can be blamed. Losing 3 grid positions seems very harsh since Hamilton doesn't receive any punishment. And in regard to the Silverstone penalty, this penalty is much to severe.
(but these are just my 2 cents )
