Max Verstappen doesn't like to be compared to Ayrton Senna or Michael Schumacher, but he recognises there is overlap between him and the careers and morals of other world champions.
Many, for example, mention the above names in a negative context regarding Verstappen, saying that they were also "dirty drivers". The Dutch driver sees it very differently.
"I don't care about compliments or praise at all. I just want to win and for that I'm willing to do anything, so I'll do anything! That connects me to drivers like Michael Schumacher, I really see a similarity in that. He also did everything to create the maximum chance of winning for himself! It was like that when he was sitting in the car and racing, and it was like that outside the car, during the development work. He was never afraid and always listened to his common sense. That's exactly what I do too!" - Verstappen described himself and his style.
