Max Verstappen doesn't like being compared to Ayrton Senna or Michael Schumacher, but he also acknowledges that there are certain similarities between him and the other record champions in their careers and morals.
For example, many mention the above names in a negative context in relation to Verstappen, saying that they too were "dirty racers." The Dutch driver sees it completely differently.
"I am absolutely not interested in praise or compliments. I just want to win and for this purpose I am capable of anything, therefore I will do anything! This connects me with racers like Michael Schumacher, I really see similarities in that. He also did everything to create the greatest possible chance of victory! That was how it was when he was sitting in the car and racing, and that was how it was outside the car, during development work. He was never afraid and always listened to his common sense. That is exactly what I do too!" - described himself and his style Verstappen.
