Ralf Schumacher has threatened to run Williams team-mate Juan Pablo Montoya off the track if he has to in Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix.
The pair have been at odds since almost colliding at the start of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
Schumacher blamed Montoya for the near miss and said: "It was a pretty strong move and next time I will have him off the track.
"I just think that move was not the right thing to do," the German added.
Montoya was attempting to return to the Albert Park track after running wide onto the grass, but the pair touched paint as Schumacher closed the door on his team-mate.
The pair eventually finished a distant fourth and fifth -- Schumacher ahead of Montoya -- behind the dominant Ferraris.
He was angered by what he felt was preferential treatment Schumacher received when winning last year's French Grand Prix.
Montoya, meanwhile, feels Williams have a way to go before they can challenge the dominance of Ferrari this season.
The Colombian said: "I don't really expect a miracle. It's very hard to say we are going to have a miracle.
"We're on the right track but it's a shame we're not quicker or as quick as we wanted to be. It's very hard to say it's a car that's going to win races."
However, Montoya is hopeful of improving in the scorching heat of Sepang and also in Bahrain on 4 April.
Like McLaren and Renault, Williams use Michelin tyres, which last year performed better in hot conditions than Ferrari's Bridgestones.
"We might surprise ourselves," he added. "It's very hard to judge. It might take some time to find more pace, but we should be stronger here."
