All proceeds will be going to the Instituto Ayrton Senna to help their projects that give people opportunities and transform lives.
The race around the streets of Monte Carlo was Piastri's strongest race so far in 2024. The incredible performance saw the Aussie finish 2nd place.
Celebrate his incredible result, honour Senna's legacy and donate to a fantastic charity with this helmet.
Ayrton Senna
There is no driver comparable to Ayrton Senna. His talent was clear when he took his backmarker Toleman to P2 in Monte Carlo as a rookie. His debut season was such that Lotus were prepared to jump hoops and ruffle feathers to sign him for '85. Senna took a win in just his second race in the black and gold car.
A successful three years at Lotus didn't wield any World Championships, which prompted a move to McLaren for 1988. The MP4/4 for the 1988 season was sensational and Senna beat his teammate, Alain Prost, by just three points to secure his first World Championship at the first time of asking with McLaren. The Brazilian legend would take the titles in spectacular fashion in 1990 & 1991, to make him a three-time World Champion.
Three World Championships with McLaren makes him a very important figure for the whole McLaren team. Senna was famous for his incredible skills around the streets of Monte Carlo.
The Helmet
Oscar Piastri's helmet for the event was a special tribute to the three-time McLaren World Champion who tragically passed away in an accident 30 years ago.
The helmet itself follows the normal design patterns of Piastri's helmet - but the colour pallet has vastly changed. Senna's colours are so notorious that despite not following the right pattern, this helmet is instantly recognisable as Ayrton Senna's. The deep yellow, combined with the green, and hints of dark blue all represented Brazil to Senna - and they are the staple feature of the helmet.
Oscar Piastri
It appears as if the Senna heritage was coursing through Piastri when he tackled the streets of Monte-Carlo. His 2nd place finish on the Sunday was his best result and first podium of the season. The Aussie has had an incredible start to his F1 career, challenging his more experienced and equally talented teammate at every turn.
This helmet - worn during the event (practice) can be yours, to celebrate the sensational Aussie, remember the Brazilian legend and do it all in the name of charity. Bid now.
Please note: All auction items will include an Admin Fee of 10% of the winning price which will be added to the total when taken to checkout.

The Auto Bid Extend feature ensures that bidders will always have a chance to challenge bids placed in the final seconds of an auction. When indicated on a listing page, if a bid is placed during the last 5 minutes of an auction, the auction will automatically extend for an additional 5 minutes from the time of the latest bid. The auction will close once all bidding activity has stopped for a period of 5 minutes.
NOTE: Current Bid Amount and Countdown Timer are not "live." Click Refresh to update them or to see if the auction has been automatically extended by a last minute bid.
A straight bid is a one-time amount, that represents the price you are committing to bid. The price that is entered as a straight bid can be any amount that is equal to, or greater than the current amount plus the minimum increment.
This amount will become the new current bid amount of the item (i.e. the item is £100. A straight bid is placed at £200. The item price is now £200).
If there is a maximum bid on the item, the greater of the straight bid and maximum bid will be the highest bid amount.
If a straight bid and a maximum bid are placed at the same value, the bid that is placed earlier will become the winning bid.
This system offers a convenient bidding system option, so you don't have to continuously login to re-bid. When you place a maximum bid, you are entering the highest price you are willing to pay for an item. Your maximum bid is kept confidential until it is exceeded by another bidder.
When a maximum bid is placed, the system will place bids on your behalf at the bid increment amount above the current high bid. The system will bid by the increment to ensure you remain the highest bidder or to meet the reserve price (if applicable), up to your maximum bid amount.
If and only if duplicate maximum bids are entered, the customer who entered the maximum bid first will get priority and will be the winning bidder.
If another bidder places a higher bid above your maximum bid, you will be emailed to login and place another bid.
