Chopping fellow drivers off while attempting to pass more or less was started by Senna in today's modern era. After Senna died, this nasty habit was taken to a higher level by Schumacher. Younger drivers all idolized these two figures and wanted to drive just like their heroes. Along comes Verstappen, who again took these kinds of maneuvers to a higher level again. Here is a link to an interview when Jackie Stewart interviewed Senna, questioning his judgement and sportsmanship. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySBRcXZ_Dfo.
Senna & Schumacher used everything they thought they could get away with; Verstappen has the same mindset, which has obviously been unacceptable to Stewart. He had raced in the 60s & 70s, he had witnessed the death of Rindt & Cevert.
