A replica of Juan Manuel Fangio’s race helmet will be auction🏅ed in Monaco ahead of next week’s Formula🐈 1 race in the principality.

The recreated helmet was gifted to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sir Jackie Stewart by Foundacion♒ Fangᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚio Museo in 2024 and is now up for sale.

All proceeds will be donated to Race Against Dementia, a charity founded by Stewart and supported by F1.

The timing of the auction is significant as Fangio won the first Monaco GP held as part of the ♔F1 world championship in 1950.

The 2025 season also marks the 75th anniversary❀ of F1, with the Monte💖 Carlo event having been a near-permanent fixture on the calendar during this period.

Five-time F1 champion Fangio became an important figure in Stewart’s💧 career, serving as both his inspiratioꦰn and mentor.

“Fangio was my hero. However, he wasn’t just my hero, he was a close friend, a true gen♐tleman and someone I respected immensely,” said Stewart, himself a three-time champion. 

“▨The Fangio helmet was g𓆉ifted to me and I hope it will represent our friendship, and all that the great man stood for, when it is offered for auction at Monaco.

“To have this auction take place alongside the Monaco Grand Prix, 75 years after his first victory, feels especially poignant. Monte Carlo is where I won my very first Formula 3 race, and I still rem☂embe𒁏r Fangio walking across to shake my hand.

“I was stunned he even knew my name. To me, he remains the greatest ๊driver of all time.”

Stewart set up Race Against Dementia in 2016 after his wi♎fe Helan was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

The 𝓡auction for Fangio’s replica🐷 helmet is part of F1® Authentics’ Masters of Monaco campaign.
