The 2000 Formula 1 season was the second year for Jacques behind the wheel of a Lucky Strike BAR Honda. Jacques finished 7th in the Championship with 17 points, his best finish was 4th and he achieved that on 4 separate occasions.
This Bell K1 helmet was painted by Bell SPORTS Europe and is tagged 2000-17. The helmet has the Japanese flag attached to the back by Bell SPORTS staff to signify that this helmet was used during the Japanese GP weekend where Jacques started 9th and finished 4th. The helmet shows very nice wear inside and out. As per all of Jacques helmets there is heli-tape covering most of the air vents. The drink tube has been drilled and is also covered with heli-tape. The liner is not complete but the full race radio still remains intact. The visor and chin strap are both signed by Villeneuve. Also included is the original Bell carrying bag with “J.V. 00-17” handwritten annotations. This item is from Jacques Villeneuve’s personal collection and will come with his signed LOA.
