This Bell K1 helmet saw use during two Formula 1 Seasons. The helmet was first used during three race weekends in 2003; Great Britain where he finished 10th, Germany, which saw a 9th place finish, and the Italian Grand Prix’s where he matched a season’s best 6th place finish. The helmet then had decals removed/added and was used during the 2004 season when he replaced Jarno Trulli for the last three races of the season at Renault where he posted and 11th and two 10th place finishes.
The helmet was painted by Bell Racing Europe in Jacques’ traditional style and tagged 2003-11 with the flags of Germany, Great Britain and Italy added to the back of the helmet. As per all of Jacques’ helmets, the vents have been closed-off, extra eye port foam has been added and the drink tube was drilled out. The race radio has been removed likely to be installed in another helmet. A pair of tear-offs are still attached to the visor with the top one signed by JV.
Also included is a Bell carrying bag with “2003” handwritten annotation. This item is from Jacques Villeneuve’s personal collection and will come with his signed LOA.
