This was not a regular "pinching off" type situation in an more open corner where one driver is determined not to let the other one through, even if it means contact. The combo of contact, interlocked wheels and the wall all combined together to be a serious serious shunt---we all know that who saw it.
so for me, this really does show up a ruthlessness, but moreso , the lack of judgement that before he showed in less life threatening situations (Adelaide, Jerez, numerous start line choppings) but in this case something that could have been pretty darn ugly.
he's a smart guy, he knew what he was doing.

You said it so well,"he knew what he was doing"
In the past those kind of moves were pretty awesome, made by great drivers!
Senna did the same with Prost in Portugal.
