Max Verstappen doesn't like being compared to Ayrton Senna or Michael Schumacher, but he acknowledges that there are certain similarities in career and morale between him and the other record champions.
For example, many mention the above names in a negative context in connection with Verstappen, claiming that they were also "dirty racers." The Dutch driver sees it completely differently.
"I don't care about praise or compliments at all. I just want to win and I'm willing to do anything for that, so I'll do anything! That's what connects me with racers like Michael Schumacher, I really see a similarity in that. He did everything in his power to create the best possible chance of winning! That's how it was when he was in the car and racing, and that's how it was outside the car, during development work. He was never afraid and always listened to his common sense. That's exactly what I do!" - described himself and his style Verstappen.
