Max Verstappen doesn't like being compared to Ayrton Senna or Michael Schumacher, but acknowledges that there are overlaps between him and the other record champions in terms of career and morale.
For example, many people mention the above-mentioned names in a negative context in connection with Verstappen, saying they were also "dirty drivers." However, the Dutch driver sees things quite differently.
"I'm not interested in praise or compliments at all. I just want to win and I'm willing to do anything for it, so I'll do anything! That connects me with drivers like Michael Schumacher; I really see similarities there. He, too, did everything to give himself the best possible chance of winning! That's how it was when he was in the car and driving, and that's how it was outside the car during development. He was never afraid and always listened to common sense. That's exactly what I do too!" - is how Verstappen described himself and his style.
