A replica of Juan M🔴anuel Fangio’s race helmet will be auctioned in Monaco ahead of next week’s Formula 1 race in the principality.

The recreated helmet was gifted to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sir Jackie Stewart by Foundacion Fang🃏io 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 Fa𒅌ngio 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 Mon🧸te Carlo event having been a near-permanent fixture on the calendar d𒆙uring this period.

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

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

“The Fangio helmet was gifted to me and I hopℱe it will represent ouꦏr 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 hi꧂s first victory, feels especially poignant. Monte Carlo is where I won my very first Formula 3 race, and I still remember Fangio walking across to shake my hand.

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

Stewart set up Race Against Dementia in 2016 after his wife Helaಌn was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

The auct🍌ion for Fangio’s replica helmet is part of F1®꧂ Authentics’ Masters of Monaco campaign.
