alfaromeostake A special design for a great initiative. ♥️
@.valtteribottas will auction off his special-edition, race-worn 2023 #AustralianGP helmet to raise funds for @.savethechildrensuisse, the team's official charity partner.
Known for displaying unique helmet designs on track, the Finn teamed up with contemporary Aboriginal artist, Ricky Kildea, to realize two one-off helmets ahead of the Melbourne race, as a way to pay tribute to Australia's Indigenous communities.
A highly dedicated and passionate Aboriginal consultant, Ricky Kildea is committed to address the disadvantages experienced by Indigenous communities, improve pathways to employment and make a real difference within the local Aboriginal community.
As an artist, Ricky links his cultural identity with his passion for sport to create unique artworks, mainly on Australian Rules footballs but, in this case, #F1 helmets.
After the race weekend, one of Valtteri's special helmets will be auctioned on the @.f1authentics platform, with all proceeds donated to two projects benefitting the local Indigenous community.
The Mooroopna Kinder Project, which is accessed by families who otherwise would struggle to afford to put their children in kindergarten, suffered damage caused by severe flooding in 2022.
Save the Children will use the proceeds raised by the auction to cover the costs of repairs, as well as buying new equipment to restore the kindergarten as an environment where children can thrive.
Artist Ricky Kildea chose the second project to benefit from the funding: Koorie Academy Basketball, a not-for-profit organisation supporting Aboriginal children who face obstacles when it comes to inclusion in sports.
The proceedings will go towards hosting a basketball clinic and a cultural workshop in Geelong for Aboriginal youth.
The auction of Valtteri Bottas' race-worn will run on f1authentics.com between March 28 and April 11, 2023, with Valtteri personally handing over the prized item to the successful bidder.
Fans and collectors alike will be able to place bids for the chance to own a unique piece of memorabilia, while helping raise funds for important causes.
