Max Verstappen and Michael Schumacher share key F1 trait as Jean Todt makes comparison

Max Verstappen has been compared to the great Michael Schumacher as he steams towards a third straight world F1 title.

The 2023 season is only three races old, but the Dutchman has taken the chequered flag in two of them in Bahrain and Australia. And given the current pace of Red Bull, it seems only teammate Sergio Perez can launch any kind of challenge to his crown this year.

At just 25, Verstappen has already been touted to threaten the all time record of title wins, which is currently shared by Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton. The pair have seven each, with the German winning five of his championships under the guise of Jean Todt at Ferrari.
