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 Bell M3 helmet painted by Bell Helmets and numbered 95-2 to the rear was used by Ralf during his 1995 German Formula 3 season. The helmet shows good signs of us, and accreditation date sticker to the left hand side. The helmet comes with a letter of authenticity from Bell Helmets. Ralf has dedicated the helmet on the back with a personal message translating to 'All the best to you and your family's friendship'.
