Michael Schumacher signed replica F1 helmet for sale, makes the perfect petrolhead gift

Every real signed sports memorabilia from a world famous athlete is a piece of jewelry that is highly valued. Nevertheless, this limited edition Bell racing helmet from 1998, signed by F1 legend Michael Schumacher, fulfills all the criteria for being special.

The news that the seven-time Formula 1 champion sustained a serious brain injury while on a family vacation in the French Alps sparked a major earthquake in the world of motorsport in December 2013. From that moment on, we learned little about the racing legend. Fans have been looking for information about Schumi like crazy for eight years and are getting more and more hungry for a word from his family. It didn’t come out much. Everything that has Scumacher’s name is therefore a treasure for them.

This Ferrari F1 helmet replica, which the German driver personally signed, is almost identical to the one he wore during his 1998 season, the year in which he and Mika Häkkinen up to the last race, the Japan Grand Prix competed against each other. The Finn eventually won the championship.

The helmet sports a stunning dark blue decal on top that is accented with glitter, just as it looked in 1998. The Ferrari F1 team badge is also visible on the front visor and on the back of the helmet.

It is available for sale immediately viauctions.f1authentics.com, a website that specializes in Formula 1 memorabilia from a wide variety of drivers and manufacturers. The helmet will be sold through an auction that began on September 15 and ends on September 28 at 8 p.m. BST (British Summer Time).

The current bid is £ 6,500 (approximately $ 8,886) and will be held with no reserve price. Every racing fan who is lucky enough to place the winning bid will receive a unique sports souvenir at the end. It would be the perfect object to sit on a shelf in your living room while watching the latest Michael Schumacher Netflix special.
