Former F1 racer Karun Chandhok has enlisted similarities between Red Bull driver Max Verstappen and seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher. Verstappen is often considered one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of this era.
Michael Schumacher held the record for leading an F1 championship for the most consecutive days until Max Verstappen a few weeks back. The 27-year-old driver who claimed the win at Interlagos is set to win his fourth title this year. Schumacher and Verstappen are both known for their aggressive take on racing.
Karun Chandhok has since claimed that both Schumacher and Verstappen race in a fairly uncompromising manner. He said that they are the best in the business solely because of their approach to racing.
I use the word uncompromising. They race in a way that they don’t want to compromise even 1%. They will push the limit of what they can get away with right to the very edge.

Verstappen heads into the final races of the season hoping to reach double-figure wins for consecutive seasons. He will have to deliver good performances as an exciting triple-header awaits F1 fans.
Ex-racer understands Max Verstappen’s mistakes over the past few races
Former American racer Mario Andretti urged everyone to see the reason behind Max Verstappen’s mistakes at the Mexican GP. The Red Bull driver was reprimanded with a 20-second penalty for impeding and blocking another driver at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
Andretti said that Verstappen was bound to fight harder against McLaren and Ferrari because of his team’s shortfalls. He also took a slight dig at the stewards and said that there was a need to maintain a permanent set of rules.
When you no longer have a dominant car and you have to fight harder than what is actually realistic, mistakes can happen. Sometimes it is right to impose a penalty for that and sometimes not. But you have to have clear rules and not keep changing the rules of the game.

Verstappen has been involved in multiple feuds with the FIA over some allegedly biased decisions this season. The 27-year-old has nevertheless stood strong with his morals and approach.
