Jenson Button has hit out at Michael Schumacher, saying the German turned into to him, almost causing a crash in the Spanish GP.
Schumacher, who was behind Button at the time, pitted on lap 15 of the 66-lap Barcelona race with Button coming in two laps later.
The Brit, though, suffered a relatively slow stop due to a clutch problem which meant he exited the pits as Schumacher was coming down the straight.
And, according to Button, the German almost turned in on him, forcing the reigning Champ to take avoiding action.
"I didn't really know where Michael was on the outside of me," said Button. "He turned in and if I didn't back out of it we would have crashed.
"So he didn't really give me a lot of room there. There you go, you'd think with his experience he would know. It wasn't really the right move."
Once behind Schumacher, Button spent the remainder of the grand prix, some 49 laps, starring at the seven-time World Champ's rear wing as he was not able to find a way to pass him.
"It's tough to overtake here, and Michael's not silly. He knows where to put his car, so on a track like this you're not going to overtake him," said Button.
"He was putting it on the inside, and I couldn't pass on the outside because he just pushed me wide every time. He didn't make a mistake, so it was very frustrating.
"Fifth place is okay, but it's frustrating because the car was quick here. That's a positive and a negative, because I didn't get to use the speed."
