The 1996 season marked the debut of Jacques Villeneuve in Formula One. After 2 years of racing CART in North America, he signed on with Frank Williams and the powerful Williams Renault F-1 team. Villeneuve made it very clear from the start he was there to win. He started the season with a pole position in the Australian GP and went on to score 4 wins, 2 more pole positions, 11 top three’s, 6 fastest race laps and placed second overall in the F-1 Championship.
This Bell M3 helmet was painted by Bell SPORTS Europe and is tagged R-11. The helmet still carries all of the Rothmans logos and the race radio remains fully intact. The drink tube was drilled out and the upper vents have been covered with tape to reduce airflow into the helmet. The helmet shows light but obvious use and would make a great addition to any racing collection.
This item is from Jacques Villeneuve’s personal collection and will come with his signed LOA.
