Bell HP77 Helmet Haas F1 Team No. 31 Esteban Ocon China GP 2025 Spark Model 1:5

Esteban Ocon lined up under car number 31 at the 2025 Chinese Grand Prix at Shanghai International Circuit — round 2 of the FIA Formula One World Championship — in his first season with Haas F1 Team. Spark Model's 1:5 resin helmet replica documents that moment: the Bell HP77 he wore in Haas livery for one of his earliest outings with the American squad.

Bell HP77: Formula 1's Top-Tier Shell

The Bell HP77 is Bell's flagship racing helmet, homologated to the FIA 8860-2018 standard — the most stringent certification in circuit motorsport. Ocon has worn Bell equipment throughout his Formula 1 career, and the HP77 remained his choice as he made the switch from Alpine to Haas for 2025. The Haas VF-25, powered by a Ferrari power unit, provided the competitive context in which this helmet was used at Shanghai.

Number 31, New Colours: Ocon's Haas Chapter Opens in China

Ocon's departure from Alpine at the close of 2024 was one of the most-discussed driver moves of the off-season. Joining Haas alongside Oliver Bearman, he retained his permanent race number 31 and adapted his personal helmet design language to the team's 2025 MoneyGram Haas identity — black, red and white. The China GP at Shanghai International Circuit was among the first competitive outings where that new livery was on display, giving this helmet a clear first-season significance for collectors who track driver histories across teams.

Spark Model's 1:5 Resin Helmet Series

Spark Model produces its 1:5 helmet replicas under the 5HF-prefix product line, resin-cast and hand-painted to replicate the livery of helmets worn at specific Grand Prix events. This piece — catalogued as 5HF203 — reproduces Ocon's China GP 2025 Bell HP77. The 1:5 format sits between the larger 1:2 display helmets and the more compact 1:8 scale, offering a display-ready proportion that remains relatively uncommon in the helmet replica segment.

In the Display Cabinet

This piece pairs naturally with Spark's 1:5 Oliver Bearman Haas helmet from the same 2025 China GP weekend, allowing a side-by-side presentation of both Haas drivers at round 2. It also complements any Spark or Minichamps 1:18 replica of the Haas VF-25, or earlier Ocon Bell helmet editions from his Alpine seasons. For collectors following number 31 across Ocon's entire F1 career — from Force India through Alpine and into Haas — this is the first piece in the Haas chapter of that sequence.
