Formula One champion Jenson Button has criticised ex-champion Michael Schumacher for allegedly using unfair means while taking him on in Sundays Spanish Grand Prix.

I didnt really know where Michael was on the outside of me. He turned in and,if I hadnt backed out of it,we would have crashed. He didnt really give me a lot of room. There you go. Youd think with his experience he would know. It wasnt really the right move, the Daily Express quoted Button,as saying.

Button was less than impressed by that initial move,although it showed that Schumacher is returning to his old style and should not be underestimated now that he has a Mercedes built to his liking.

Its tough to overtake here and Michaels not silly. He knows where to put his car on a track like this and youre not going to overtake him. He was putting it on the inside,and I couldnt pass on the outside because he just pushed me wide every time. He didnt make a mistake,so it was very frustrating, Button said.

Veteran German racer Mark Webber emerged the winner.
