Let's stay in Britain.

The European Championship finals have come to an end, the garbage swept aside, the rain has washed away the intoxication.

The BBC is reconstructing the storm on Wembley, in the House of Commons the opposition is attacking Her Majesty's government for the attitude of the Prime Minister and his ministers towards the kneeling England internationals, and on social networks they make it clear that they are at least not in and probably not for play the johnson cabinet.

But the weather is improving, and the British are not only looking at the Midlands, they are traveling there.

140,000 spectators are expected in Northamptonshire, with tickets, to the Grand Prix of Great Britain.

Formula 1 follows football. Nowhere is the series as special as on the Silverstone Circuit, the Home of British Motor Racing.

But never has it been so clear as this year that the racing series, the teams, and indeed the entire British motorsport industry, the center of which is close to the traditional course, are accompanied by the same questions of systemic racism and inherent disadvantage that the protesting football players also draw attention to.

Motorsport branch dominantly white

On Tuesday, the Hamilton Commission published the results of its investigation on over 180 pages.

At the suggestion of world champion Lewis Hamilton, named Sir Lewis by the Queen, the Royal Academy of Engineering had investigated the underrepresentation of Black Britons in the motorsport industry.

In addition to a few documented cases of more or less openly racist slogans against individual non-white Formula 1 team members, the analysis of university and school degrees shows why the industry, which sees itself as the bastion of the engineering elite, is so dominantly white.

For example, across the kingdom as many as two students of Caribbean origin received the highest grade in physics in 2019, and only 23 black students in total.

That is two percent of the participating students, while eight percent of white youths received the top grade.

In mathematics, the numbers are toto higher, but equally shockingly disparate: 17 percent of white students received the top grade, seven percent of black students.

Two percent of the almost 60,000 training positions in engineering professions at the start of the career in 2019/20 were filled with black applicants.

Black students made up five percent of all engineering students in 2019, at the 24 elite universities of the Russell Group, recruiting field of Formula 1, less than a quarter of the 820 prospective engineers with black skin studied.

On Wednesday, Formula 1 sent a press release: Ten scholarships at universities in Great Britain and Italy, two apprenticeships and six internships are to be provided to applicants from underprivileged groups this year.

A beginning, nothing more.

Real change has to start in schools, in the heart of society.

And yet: The BBC told Hamilton on Tuesday that it would be his most valuable achievement if he succeeded in bringing more diversity to motorsport.

The really big price.

And it wasn't just Formula 1 that benefited for a long time.
