Jenson Button admits he ‘overreacted’ after slamming Lewis Hamilton over German GP clash.
JENSON Button has backtracked on his criticism of former teammate Lewis Hamilton following their clash during the German Grand Prix.
The pair collided at the Turn 4 hairpin on Lap 30 while battling for sixth place, as Hamilton charged through the field after starting from 20th on the grid.
The relatively light impact on the exit of the corner snapped off part of the Mercedes’s left front wing end-plate, and left Button less than impressed after the race.
“He drove into my rear wheel, that’s all I’ve got to say and I don’t know much else about it,” Button told reporters.
“I’m out there doing my race. It would make it boring if we all let him past when he was coming through the field.”
Several hours later, having had a chance to review footage of the incident, Button conceded that he had “overreacted” with his assessment in the immediate aftermath of the race.
