Max Verstappen doesn't like being compared to Ayrton Senna or Michael Schumacher, but he admits that there is overlap between his career and the morale of the other record champions.
For example, many people mention the names written above in a negative context in relation to Verstappen, saying that they were also “dirty drivers.” The Dutch driver sees this very differently.
"I am absolutely not interested in praise or compliments. I just want to win and I am capable of anything for that, so I will do anything! This connects me with drivers like Michael Schumacher, I really see similarities in that. He also did everything to create the best possible chance for himself to win! That was the case when he was in the car and racing, and that was the case outside the car, during the 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 as Verstappen.
