BAR-Honda driver Jenson Button has revealed that in his view Michael Schumacher is 'not unbeatable', and if Kimi Raikkonen or Juan Montoya were in the same situation as the German, 'they'd be winning straight away too'.

Speaking to British newspaper, The Sun, the Englishman, who finished on the podium ten times in 2004, as well as securing third in the drivers' championship, best of the rest after the Ferraris' of Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello, added that the F2004, was simply in a class of its own.

"In Monza it was staggering how Michael was able to power past me," reflected Jenson, who at that point was battling for the lead of the Italian Grand Prix.

"There's no way Michael is on a different level," continued the Englishman.

"When Kimi Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya say he's the man to beat, they are correct. But if they were in the same situation Michael is in they'd be winning straight away.

"Michael is not unbeatable. The position he's in gives him confidence and he's able to relax.

"He's never on edge."
