The 2001 season marked the third year in F1 for the BAR-Honda team. The team was looking to build off from the 2000 season, which saw them take leaps in development of the car and engine. The team did extensive testing that paid off with Jacques recording ten top 10 finishes with 2 podiums, a third place finish in both the Spanish and German Grand Prix’s and a seventh overall in the F1 drivers’ Championship.
This Bell K1 helmet has been painted in Jacques’ traditional design by Bell S.P.O.R.T.S. Europe and has been tagged “2001-03”. The helmet shows light wear inside and out. As per all Jacques helmets extra eye-port foam has been added to reduce airflow into the helmet and heli-tape covers the top and front vents.
The drink tube has been drilled out and is still attached to the helmet as well the full race radio remains intact. No visor was present on the helmet so one of Jacques’ vintage visor was mounted on it and it is nicely signed by him. Also included is the original Bell carrying bag with “J.V. 01-03” handwritten annotations.
This item is from Jacques Villeneuve’s personal collection and will come with his signed LOA.
