2021 LIMITED EDITION MONACO SCUDERIA FERRARI SIGNED 1:5 HELMET - CHARLES LECLER

Charles Leclerc Formula 1 Scuderia Ferrari Special Edition Monaco GP 2021 1:5 Helmet with signed display case
 
This helmet was a special design with blue as the dominant colour and therefore a very different look to what the Scuderia Ferrari driver usually wears.
 
This special helmet pays homage to the most successful Monegasque driver before Leclerc came along, namely Loouis Alexandre Chiron. Born in Monte Carlo on 3 August 1899, 98 years before Charles, Chiron was the son of a hotelier and his first passion was dancing, to the extent that he made it his profession, although he soon made a name for himself with his driving skills. He began racing in 1926 and took his first win that year. On April 19th 1931, he took part in the Monaco Grand Prix at the wheel of a Bugatti Type 51 and, started from way back in elevnth place on the grid, he came through to win ahead of the Italians Luigi Fagioli in a Maserati and Achille Varzi in another Bugatti.
 
Chiron was the only Monegasque to drive for Scuderia Ferrari prior to Charles. However, he was not at the wheel of a Ferrari, because at the time Enzo Ferrari’s team ran Alfa Romeo. Racing for the Prancing Horse team, Chiron finished third in the 1934 Mille Miglia at the wheel of an 8C 2300 Monza, sharing the drive with Italy’s Archimede Rosa an expert on the Madonie circuit near Palermo. He also won the Giro di Sicilia on more than one occasions and did well in several Targa Florio races
 
Own a piece of racing history commemorating Charles' pole winning qualification performance in 2021 aboard the SF21 with this very collectable 1:5 helmet replica signed by Charles Leclerc. This is especially collectable for any Monaco Grand Prix enthusiast with it's ode to Chiron.
 
In pristine collectors condition.
