BMW WilliamsF1 driver, Mark Webber has hit out at Michael Schumacher following their collision on the lap 14 of the Turkish Grand Prix Sunday.

Speaking after the race, the Aussie added that Schumi was 'moving all over the place in the braking area' - something that they are supposedly not meant to do.

"When I came out of the pits, I was a lap behind Michael Schumacher but I was much quicker than him," explained Webber.

"I thought it was strange that he was moving around the braking area as all the drivers agree to try not to do this. Michael seemed quite keen to do it though so I didn't show much respect in the end when I went round the corner.

"We then made contact. After that, I had another tyre incident which ended our race."

Schumacher however for his part was at a loss to explain why Webber tried to go passed him at that particular point.

"As regards the incident with Webber, I saw him closing on me and he moved to the right," said Schumacher. "As I began to brake, I could no longer see him and, when I was in mid-corner, I felt a bang at the back as he hit me with his nose. He was one lap down, so I don't understand why he tried this move.

"After the collision, there was something wrong with the car, so I went into the pits where the mechanics changed the power steering incredibly quickly. I went back out on track so as not to have to be first out in qualifying in Monza. At least this worked out, as I made up three places."

Ferrari technical director, Ross Brawn meanwhile unsurprisingly felt it was Webber's fault not Schumacher's.

"Michael's accident looked a bit unnecessary to me, given that Webber was one lap down," he observed.
