Jenson Button believes he "overreacted" when he criticised Lewis Hamilton for h⛦is driving in the German Grand Prix.

Hamilton was trying to overtake Button at the Turn 6 hairpin but the McLaren was taking a wider line and the two drivers made contact at the exit of the corner. Hamilton admitted he thought Button was giving him room and said he had misjudged the situation - even raising a hand in apology when he finally passed the McLaren - and immediately after the race Button was cr🃏itical of his former team-mate's d൲riving.

However, having reviewed ꦡthe race on Sunday night, Button took to Twitter to apologise for his 🦋reaction, saying he could see how Hamilton had read the situation.

After watching the race back think I overreacted with my feelings about Lewis's move. I can understand why he thought I was giving him room.-- Jenson Button (@JensonButton)

Amazed we both got around the corner!! F1 put on a great show today and long may it continue! -- Jenson Button (@JensonButton)
