In 2002 Jacques Villeneuve and Olivier Panis teamed up to drive the Lucky Strike BAR Honda 004 chassis. Jacques Villeneuve finished 12th in the F1 Championship with his best finish a 4th place at the German GP.
This Bell K1 helmet has been painted in Jacques’ traditional design by Bell Racing Europe and has been tagged 2002-05. Bell technicians have also added a small Malaysian flag decal to the back of the helmet to signify the race weekend the helmet was used in. It was used by Jacques during the Malaysian GP weekend, held March 15 -17 at the Sepang International Circuit where Jacques qualified 13th and finished in 8th place.
The helmet shows moderate use inside and out. You can see the remains of a custom cooling system that had been mounted inside the helmet to battle the intense heat seen in Malaysia and as per all of Jacques’ helmets the top and lower vents have been taped off and extra eye-port foam has been added. The full race radio remains intact and the visor still has original tear-offs attached with the top one signed by Villeneuve.
Also included is the original Bell carrying bag with “J.V. 2002-05” handwritten annotations. This item is from Jacques Villeneuve’s personal collection and will come with his signed LOA.
