Juan Manuel Fangio’s F1 helmet to be auctioned for charity in Monaco
A replica of Juan Manuel Fangio’s race helmet will be auctioned in Monaco before the upcoming Formula 1 race. The helmet was gifted to Sir Jackie Stewart by Foundacion Fangio Museo in 2024. All proceeds from the sale will go to Race Against Dementia, a charity supported by F1. Fangio’s victory in the first Monaco GP in 1950 adds significance to the timing of the auction. The 2025 season marks the 75th anniversary of F1, a period where Monte Carlo has been a key fixture on the calendar. Fangio was an influential figure in Stewart’s career, serving as both inspiration and mentor. The auction will take place alongside the Monaco Grand Prix, marking a special tribute to Fangio’s legacy.
