Joseph 'Jo' Schlesser (May 18, 1928 - July 7, 1968) was a French racing driver, who was killed at the 1968 French Grand Prix after crashing his Honda RA302 which then burst into flames. Schlesser had no chance of escape and burnt to death in the wreckage. The Honda team withdrew from Formula One as a mark of respect, and did not take part again until 2006. Schlesser had previously taken part in the German Grand Prix in a Formula Two-spec Matra. His nephew, Jean-Louis Schlesser, is also a racing driver.
