PIERRE GASLY
Original Test Helmet
Scuderia AlphaTauri • Formula One, 2022

A striking and technologically advanced example from the modern era of Formula One, this original helmet was worn by Pierre Gasly during testing sessions with Scuderia AlphaTauri in the 2022 FIA Formula One World Championship.

Manufactured by Bell to the latest FIA homologation standards, the helmet represents the pinnacle of contemporary motorsport safety and design. Finished in Gasly’s distinctive AlphaTauri livery, the piece features a crisp white base layered with dynamic red and navy graphic elements, overlaid with subtle tonal patterns and branding. Prominent markings include Scuderia AlphaTauri, AlphaTauri Fashion, and the driver’s race number 10 to the crown, all consistent with his 2022 season identity.

The helmet is fitted with a modern mirrored visor and advanced aerodynamic components, including integrated airflow channels and a rear stabilizing fin. The chin area displays fantom and Quantum branding, while Bell Helmets identification and #GAS10 detailing further reinforce its period correctness.

Internally, the helmet retains its original fireproof lining and harness system, with manufacturer labels and FIA certification markings intact. The overall condition reflects light professional use, with minor handling marks and wear consistent with test-session deployment rather than full race-distance use.

Accompanied by reference imagery of Gasly wearing an identical helmet configuration within the AlphaTauri cockpit, the present example aligns precisely in design, sponsor placement, and technical specification.

Pierre Gasly, Formula One Grand Prix winner and one of the leading drivers of his generation, played a central role in AlphaTauri’s competitive efforts during this period. Helmets from the contemporary hybrid era—particularly those used in official team environments—are increasingly sought after for their blend of cutting-edge engineering and modern Formula One heritage.

A rare opportunity to acquire an authentic, driver-used Formula One helmet from the AlphaTauri era, exemplifying the evolution of design, safety, and performance at the highest level of motorsport.

LEWIS HAMILTON — VODAFONE McLAREN MERCEDES HOT LAPS HELMET, SIGNED

Sparco · Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Hotlaps 2007 Programme

Presented here is a rare artefact from one of the most consequential periods in the modern history of Formula One: a Sparco full-face helmet produced for the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Hotlaps track experience programme, signed boldly in black marker by Lewis Hamilton across the shell.

The helmet is finished in the unmistakable Vodafone McLaren Mercedes livery of the era: a lustrous pewter silver shell — the celebrated aluminium grey that became synonymous with the MP4/22 — adorned with the Vodafone wordmark in bold orange-red across the crown and brow, flanked by the full Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team legend along the visor band. The Vodafone roundel appears in raised, full-colour reproduction to the right flank. The aerodynamically sculpted Sparco shell presents a modern multi-vent profile, with the twin lateral chin vents and the machined-aluminium visor mechanism characteristic of period-correct grand prix specification equipment. To the rear, a British Standard certification sticker numbered 237670 and sized 59/L provides an additional layer of documentary record. The helmet is accompanied by its original Sparco Hotlaps 2007 carry bag, branded with both the Sparco and Vodafone McLaren Mercedes legends — a provenance item of considerable rarity in its own right.

The context in which this helmet was produced makes it all the more significant. Hamilton joined Vodafone McLaren Mercedes for the 2007 season having torn through the junior categories, including a dominant GP2 campaign the previous year. Few would have fancied his chances against the reigning world champion Fernando Alonso, but his pace increased in step with his rapidly growing self-assurance. In his rookie season, Hamilton won four Grands Prix and set several records as he finished runner-up to Kimi Räikkönen by a single point. It remains, by universal consent, the most accomplished debut campaign in the history of the sport. Hamilton recorded nine consecutive podium finishes — more than any other rookie in Formula One history.

He had laid down a marker from the very first corner of his debut race, sweeping around the outside of Alonso at the opening bend of the Australian Grand Prix in an overtake that announced his arrival to the global audience. By the time this helmet was produced for the Hotlaps programme — McLaren's celebrated initiative offering invited guests and VIP partners passenger laps aboard a Formula One car with a professional driver — Hamilton was already the most talked-about newcomer the sport had seen in a generation. Certainly he was well prepared, though no one was prepared for the astonishing ease with which the precocious youngster stormed through the 2007 season.

The following year, Hamilton returned to settle the matter definitively. He won his maiden title in 2008, making a title-deciding overtake on the last lap of the last race of the season to become the then-youngest World Drivers' Champion in the history of the sport.

This helmet encapsulates the precise moment of Hamilton's emergence — the silver of Woking's finest era, the orange of its title sponsor in full cry, and the signature of a man then at the very dawn of what would become the most decorated career in Formula One history. It is presented in very good condition, complete with its original branded carry bag, and represents a wholly distinctive piece of Vodafone McLaren Mercedes memorabilia from the team's most celebrated modern chapter.

A singular combination of period team provenance and the authenticated signature of Formula One's most celebrated champion — captured at the very beginning of an extraordinary story.

Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team | World Championship Season | Test & Promotional Use

An exceptional and highly important artefact from the defining season of Nico Rosberg's career: an original Bell HP7 carbon-fibre helmet produced for the 2016 Formula One World Championship campaign, used by Rosberg for testing and promotional purposes, and hand-signed by the World Champion himself in bold black marker across the chrome mirrored visor.

The Helmet

Presented in Rosberg's iconic 2016 championship-season livery, the helmet is executed over an exposed matte carbon-fibre shell — the raw weave visible throughout — accented with the full complement of period-correct team and sponsor identity: the Mercedes three-pointed star to the crown, Monster Energy claw marks to both temples, Bose and Epson branding, the PETRONAS visor strip, and Rosberg's unmistakable turquoise "nico" script to the chin bar. Flanking each side is the dramatic chrome-mirrored "VI" — the Roman numeral six, Rosberg's race number throughout his Mercedes years — rendered in polished silver against the black carbon weave, echoed by the turquoise No. 6 to the crown.

To the chin appears the white endless-knot motif Rosberg carried throughout 2016 — a personal emblem of the season that would end with the sport's ultimate prize. The chrome mirrored visor is fitted with its original tear-off posts and aero appendages, and the rear shell bears the painter's signature mark "WiM 2016" in chrome script, above the official Bell Helmets 2016/03 production decal and the Bell Racing Europe painting credit.

Authentication & Signature

The helmet is hand-signed by Nico Rosberg in black marker, prominently placed across the mirrored visor beneath the PETRONAS strip — a large, clean, and unhesitating example of his autograph, ideally positioned for display.

Provenance & Usage

This is an original helmet from the 2016 season, produced by Bell Racing Europe for Rosberg's championship campaign and employed for testing and promotional purposes. In the interest of full disclosure, it is offered as a test and promotional helmet rather than a race-worn example.

The helmet is accompanied by its original Bell Helmets padded transport bag, custom-embroidered "Nico 03/06" to both the exterior Bell patch and the interior label — a factory-personalised detail that ties the bag directly to this helmet's production.

Historical Significance

2016 stands alone in Rosberg's story. Nine victories — including a masterful lights-to-flag drive under the floodlights of Singapore — carried him to the World Championship at Abu Dhabi, settled by just five points over Lewis Hamilton in one of the most relentless title duels of the modern era. Five days later, Rosberg retired from Formula One as reigning World Champion, ensuring that helmets from this season represent the final chapter of his racing career. Original 2016 Rosberg helmets are, by definition, a closed edition: no more will ever exist.

Summary

Original Bell HP7 carbon-fibre helmet, 2016 specification (Bell production decal 2016/03), Mercedes AMG Petronas livery, chrome mirrored visor, hand-signed by Nico Rosberg. Test and promotional use. Accompanied by the original factory-embroidered "Nico 03/06" Bell helmet bag.

Photographs of the helmet from all angles, the signed visor, the painter's mark, the production decals, and the accompanying bag are available in the gallery. Period imagery of Rosberg's 2016 campaign is included for historical reference only and does not form part of the lot.
