Nicola Larini test  helmet used in 1997 while testing the future Ferrari F300. Comes signed. 

Fiorano, 30 December '97

Nicola Larini completed the 'pre-test' of Ferrari for 1998. The test driver of the red Maranello, who will be replaced in the next season by Luca Badoer, has completed today 39 laps, bringing to 71 laps made by the newborn 649 (this is the provisional acronym of the single-seater that will race the next world championship) from being put on track (2 from Schumacher and the others from the Emilia). Today, Larini performed ten laps with the wet tires at the Fiorano circuit, 19 with the 'slick' version 1997 and ten with the sculpted covers to be used from this season. As in the other two days of testing at Maranello, the lap times did not show up, but from the now famous 'posting' on the overpass, it was clear that Larini tried to squeeze the car a little bit. Now the new Ferrari will go into the garage and, after a hand of red and some slight changes, will be presented to the press and to all the fans, on January 7th. After that date, the duo Schumacher-Irvine will take over the development work with the support of Badoer.

The Belgian Grand Prix of 1998 comes easily to mind when you ask an F1 fan about a favourite race of theirs. It was the 13th race of the season that full of drama and saw an unlikely trio of drivers finish on the podium. 

Here is another incredible piece from Schumacher golden years...Michael Schumacher race Bell helmet used during the 1998 Brazil GP while driving the Ferrari F300. Comes signed. Podium helmet. Expensive.

At the start, Häkkinen made the perfect start pulling away from Coulthard and Frentzen. Michael Schumacher made a poor start dropping behind teammate Eddie Irvine and Alexander Wurz's Benetton. Jacques Villeneuve made a strong start climbing up to seventh from tenth. Rubens Barrichello in his home grand prix climbed from thirteenth to ninth in his Stewart at the start. Ralf Schumacher ended his afternoon when he spun his Jordan into the gravel trap going into turn 4. Going into turn 14, Michael Schumacher was able to reclaim fifth from Wurz at the end of the first lap. 

The McLaren's immediately began to pull away from the rest of the field after the first lap. The two Ferrari's of Schumacher and Irvine began a duel for fourth position whilst on the third lap, the Tyrrell of Toranosuke Takagi and the Minardi of Shinji Nakano collided going into the first corner. Nakano spun out and stalled being sent out of the race. 

On lap 10 Irvine let Schumacher through under team orders, Schumacher then soon began to put pressure on the Williams of Heinz-Harald Frentzen for third. Further down the second Williams of Jacques Villeneuve began to put pressure on Alexander Wurz for sixth position.

Lap 13 saw Johnny Herbert overtake the Prost of Jarno Trulli for eleventh position. On lap 17 Trulli pulled into the pits and retirement with a fuel pump issue. The same lap Häkkinen and Coulthard began lapping the first of the backmarkers. Mika Salo's Arrows pulled off the circuit with engine troubles as the McLaren's came around to lap him. One lap later Takagi's Tyrrell suffered a large engine failure sending him out of the race.

By lap 20, Häkkinen led by 6 seconds over Coulthard, whilst Coulthard held a 17 second lead over the duelling pair of Frentzen and Schumacher. The McLaren's once again demonstrating a dominance over the rest of the field. 

On lap 23, Schumacher came into the pits for his first stop being stationary for 8.5 seconds before re-entering the track in eighth position. One lap later Frentzen and Irvine came into the pits, Frentzen was held up by the traffic of backmarkers during his in-lap which allowed Schumacher to get ahead of the Williams following the pit-stops. Both Schumacher and Frentzen were stuck behind the Benetton of Giancarlo Fisichella who had yet to stop. Irvine was unlucky to exit behind a lot of traffic, seemingly ruining his afternoon. Schumacher quickly disposed of Fisichella whilst a few corners later, Fisichella ran very wide going into turn 8 allowing Frentzen through. Diniz retired his Arrows with gearbox trouble. On the same lap Villeneuve pitted his Williams from fourth position, suffering a very slow pit-stop of 9.3 seconds exiting in twelfth.

The McLaren's continued to dominate out front, the rest of the field seemingly two stopping whilst the McLaren's maintaining a one-stop strategy. On lap 30, Irvine managed to overtake the Prost of Olivier Panis for tenth. He then began to engage in a duel with the Sauber of Jean Alesi for ninth. By lap 35 the other Ferrari of Schumacher began to bare down on Wurz's Benetton who had yet to make his first pit-stop. 

On lap 36, Coulthard became the first McLaren to come into the pits for his one and only stop. He exited the pits remaining in second position. Three laps later Häkkinen took his first pit-stop, he rejoined the race in a comfortable lead. The same lap Jacques Villeneuve overtook the Prost of Panis for ninth and caught up to Alesi and Irvine who were duelling for seventh position. One lap later Villeneuve managed to overtake Irvine for eighth at the first corner, a lap later he managed to take Alesi for seventh at the same corner. 

Among the front runners, Schumacher and Frentzen began putting heavy pressure on Wurz in third who had yet to make a pit-stop. Lap 44 saw Tuero retire from the race with throttle issues. On lap 46 Williams opted to bring Frentzen in, whose speed was being hampered by the slower Schumacher and Wurz in front of him. The following lap Wurz finally made his first stop, dropping down to eight notably behind the Williams of Frentzen.

On lap 47 Villeneuve came into the pits for his second pits stop whilst in fourth position. By lap 50, Coulthard notably began catching the leading McLaren of Häkkinen, by lap 52 he had dropped the gap to 4.2 seconds. Ricardo Rosset retired from his home race on lap 52 with gearbox issues.

On lap 55, Schumacher came into the pits for his second pit-stop. As he entered the pits he notably stalled in the pits, however the mechanics were quickly able to restart the engine. Schumacher despite a 14 second stop managed to make it just outside the duelling pair of Wurz and Frentzen, Wurz managing to overtake Frentzen into the first corner as Schumacher was coming into the pits. One lap later Rubens Barrichello was running eleventh position at his home race retired with gearbox issues, meaning all the Brazilian drivers were forced into retirement for their home race.

Normal position order was restored when Irvine who was in third came into the pits for his second stop dropping back to eighth. Lap 63 saw Panis suffer an engine blowout whilst running in tenth position. 

Whilst Coulthard had been catching Häkkinen earlier on, Häkkinen managed to successfully manage the gap to his teammate. On lap 67, Johnny Herbert became the last retirement opting to pull out of the race after neck pains following his accident in Saturday practice. 

Despite running slowly on the final lap allowing Coulthard to close to 1.2 seconds, Häkkinen went on to take the race victory. Schumacher finished in third a full minute behind Coulthard with Wurz, Frentzen and Fisichella taking the final points positions.

Damon Hill who had finished the race in tenth position was later disqualified due to his car being under the weight limit after post-race scrutineering.

GIANCARLO FISICHELLA
Original Race-Worn Helmet
Benetton B199 • Australian Grand Prix, 1999

An exceptional and highly evocative race-used helmet from the 1999 FIA Formula One World Championship, worn by Giancarlo Fisichella during his tenure with Benetton Formula—most notably at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.

Constructed by Bieffe and finished in Fisichella’s distinctive late-1990s livery, the helmet features a clean white base accented by bold blue, green, and yellow geometric panels. Prominent period sponsorship includes Mild Seven, Korean Air, Agip, OMP, Tag Heuer, and Kickers, all consistent with Benetton’s striking visual identity during this era.

The aerodynamic shell retains its original visor assembly, with Korean Air branding across the visor strip and Bieffe identification to the lower edge. The crown is adorned with the large Mild Seven logo, a defining feature of Benetton’s 1999 campaign. The overall configuration precisely matches period race imagery of Fisichella in the cockpit of the Benetton B199.

The helmet exhibits clear and honest signs of race use, including minor scuffs, surface marks, and light abrasions to the paintwork, particularly around the visor aperture and crown. These details, combined with visible aging to decals, provide compelling evidence of authentic track use rather than later presentation.

Internally, the helmet retains its original lining and manufacturer labels, with period-correct construction and materials consistent with late-1990s Formula One standards. The interior shows age and use appropriate to its competition history.

Fisichella, one of Italy’s most accomplished Formula One drivers, was a key figure in Benetton’s post-championship era, delivering strong performances during the 1999 season. Helmets from this period—bridging the Schumacher championship years and the team’s transition into the Renault era—are increasingly sought after by collectors.

A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine, race-used Formula One helmet from the iconic Mild Seven Benetton era, directly associated with one of the sport’s most respected drivers.

Little summary of the race: Absent for six races after sustaining a broken leg at Silverstone, Michael Schumacher made it look like he never left in Malaysia. Immediately back on the pace, Schumi was at his dominant best on Saturday, qualifying 0.947s ahead of the next-best driver, his Ferrari teammate Eddie Irvine, and spent the Sunday dictating the race to ensure Irvine would regain the lead in the driver’s championship, playing the secondary role in the Scuderia’s 1-2.
