The 2000 Formula 1 season marked the second year for Jacques behind the wheel of a BAR Lucky Strike 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 K-1 helmet was painted by Bell S.P.O.R.T.S. Europe and is tagged “2000-18”. Jacques wore this helmet during a race weekend in 2000, the helmet then had 2001 sponsor decals applied overtop of the 2000 ones and the helmet was used again during pre-season testing.
The helmet shows very nice use and as per all of JV’s helmets it has extra foam added to the eye-port to reduce airflow into the helmet and the vents have been taped off. The full race radio remains intact and the drink tube has been drilled out and is taped off as well. A fresh set of tear-offs have been applied to the visor with the top one signed by Villeneuve. Also included is the original Bell carrying bag with “J.V. 00-18” handwritten annotations.
This item is from Jacques Villeneuve’s personal collection and will come with his signed LOA.
