Charles Leclerc 2021 Monaco GP Full-Size 1:1 Replica Helmet
For this year’s Monaco Grand Prix, local boy Charles Leclerc will take to the track wearing a very special helmet design, with blue the dominant colour and therefore a very different look to what the Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow driver usually wears.
The special helmet pays homage to the most successful Monegasque driver before Leclerc came along, namely Louis Alexandre Chiron. Born in Monte Carlo on 3 August 1899, 98 years before Charles, Chiron was the son of an 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, starting from way back in eleventh place on the grid, he came through to win ahead of the Italians Luigi Fagioli in a Maserati and Achille Varzi in another Bugatti.
This product also comes with a Free Helmet bag backpack, with a zipped side pocket.
