Schumacher & Barrichello disagree after dramatic near miss
Michael Schumacher has said he is "sorry" if Rubens Barrichello felt he had been put in danger by his blocking manoeuvre at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The Mercedes driver will be penalised 10 grid places at the next grand prix after he pushed his former team-mate within centimetres of a concrete wall.
Schumacher wrote on his website: "The manoeuvre against him was too hard.
"I didn't want to endanger him with my manoeuvre. If he had this feeling I am sorry, this was not my intention."
Williams driver Barrichello called the move the most dangerous in his long career and said the German should be black-flagged for dangerous driving.

The seven-time world champion initially denied he was at fault, however, on reflection Schumacher admitted to making a mistake.
"Immediately after the race yesterday I was still in the heat of it all, but after I looked again at the situation with Rubens I have to say that the stewards were correct with their judgement."
The incident occurred the pair were battling for the final point-scoring 10th place and Schumacher ran wide coming into the pit straight.
Barichello moved to pass his former Ferrari team-mate on the inside but Schumacher moved across forcing the Brazilian close to the pit wall.
But an accident was averted when the wall ended and Barichello was able to pass into turn one.
Schumacher, 41, was given a 10-place grid penalty for the Belgian Grand Prix and the incident sparked widespread condemnation.
