Ralf Schumacher, the younger brother of Michael had a lot to live up to, by the time he joined the Formula One grid in 1997, his brother was already a two times World Champion. Whilst Ralf never won a World Championship he was able to win six Grand Prix. Having raced for Jordan and Williams in his earlier career, he spent his final three seasons racing for Toyota Racing highlighted by securing three third places for the team and qualifying on Pole Position for the 2005 Japanese Grand Prix - Toyota's home race.

This Schuberth QF1 helmet is one of the first Schuberth helmets that Ralf had available. The helmet is numbered P-RS 006-00 and was a test, development and promotional helmet. The helmet has fitted relatively rare unquie front and rear spoilers. Also there is a used and signed visor fitted from the Canadian Grand Prix weekend of 2001, which was won by Ralf. The visor also has a smily face on it, which was customary for Ralf signing items from races with good results.
