This Bell K1 helmet, tagged 2002-6, has been painted in Jacques’ traditional design by Bell Racing Europe was used by Villeneuve during the 2002 San Marino Grand Prix at Imola. Jacques qualified 11th and made his way through the field to finish 7th, his second best finish of the season.
The helmet shows fantastic use inside and out and as per all of Jacques’ helmets the top and lower vents have been taped-off, extra eye-port foam has been added, the drink tube has been drilled out and remains attached to the helmet and the full race radio remains intact. Bell trackside staff has also added a decal of the flag of San Marino to the back of the helmet, to signify the race weekend the helmet was used in, as well as a large decal that made it easier to turn your head against the cockpit padding in the car. Villeneuve has applied his signature to the single tear-off still attached to the visor.
Also included is the original Bell carrying bag with “J.V. 2002-06” handwritten annotations. This item is from Jacques Villeneuve’s personal collection and will come with his signed LOA.
