F1 helmet signed by 20 drivers raises record six-figure sum for charity

A unique Formula 1 helmet, produced in collaboration with Disney and signed by 20 drivers from the 2026 grid, has shattered auction records after raising £151,000 for Make-A-Wish International.

The bespoke helmet, dubbed "Fuel the Magic", was sold via the F1 Authentics platform, operated by Memento Exclusives. The final winning bid of £151,000 (approximately $201,000) officially establishes a new benchmark as the highest publicly recorded sale for an unworn replica F1 helmet at auction.
