Jo Schlesser was a French Formula 1 driver who raced for Honda in the 1967 and 1968 seasons. He competed in single-seater racing at the highest level during a period when the World Championship grid mixed amateur and professional entrants in the same races.[1]
Schlesser started two Grand Prix events across two seasons. He finished 17th in the 1968 championship standings, the final year of his indexed racing record. His time in Formula 1 came during Honda's early involvement in the sport, when the manufacturer fielded drivers of varying experience levels alongside established professionals.[2]
He raced alongside drivers including Richie Ginther, the most accomplished member of Honda's driver roster during this era and an established professional who represented the upper end of the team's lineup.
