The 2005 season saw Jacques Villeneuve return to Formula 1 on a full-time basis as he joined the Sauber Petronas team with teammate Felipe Massa to drive the C24 chassis. Jacques ended the season with 5 top 10 finishes with his best showing a 4th place at the San Marino Grand Prix.
This very rare Bell HP2 helmet has been photo-matched to the 2005 Australian Grand Prix held at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit from March 4-6. The helmet, painted by Bell Racing Europe in Jacques traditional design, is tagged HP2 - 2005/01. Bell technicians have also added a small Australian flag decal to the back of the helmet to signify the race weekend the helmet was used in. The full race radio and HANS clips remain on the helmet and the visor still has unused tears-offs attached with the top one signed by Villeneuve. The helmet shows nice race wear inside and out and would make an outstanding centerpiece to any racing collection.
Also included is the original Bell carrying bag with “J.V. 05-01” handwritten annotations. This item is from Jacques Villeneuve’s personal collection and will come with his signed LOA.
