Schumacher Issues An Apology

After what happened in the closing laps of the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix when Barichello over took Schumacher and avoided a collision with the pit lane wall when Schumacher tried to push Barichello to defend his track position.

After the race Schumacher has issued an apology saying that the move on Barichello was ‘too hard’.

Schumacher issued this apology on his website saying:

Immediately after the race yesterday I was still in the heat of the moment but after seeing the incident with Rubens again, I have to say the stewards were right in their decision. My move against him was too hard,

Naturally, I wanted to make it difficult for him to overtake me. I clearly showed him that I didn’t want to let him pass but, looking at it rationally, I wasn’t seeking to endanger him with my manoeuvre. If he feels I was then all I can say is sorry, this wasn’t my intention.

I was moving over to the inside to make it very obvious and clear to him to go on the other side, there is more space for you there. He didn’t choose to, so it got a bit tight. We know certain drivers have certain views and there is Rubens.
