Over the next week, Sky Sports F1 is dedicating many of its F1 Classic Races programmes to significan­t grands prix in the career of Damon Hill.

First up (Wednesday, 2100-2130hrs) is his home triumph in a controvers­ial British Grand Prix from 1994. The 1993 German GP – a race that was set to mark Hill’s first win until late drama – is next (Thursday, 2100-2200hrs).

Then comes one of Hill’s most famous missed victories (Friday, 1845-2300hrs). He was all set to win the 1997 Hungarian GP for midfielder Arrows until mechanical problems intervened. And lastly there is Hill’s final F1 win in a chaotic 1998 Belgian GP (Monday, 2100-2330hrs).

But if you’d rather watch races featuring some of the young prospects battling to be future F1 stars, you are well catered for this week. First up is a double bill from the recent FIA F3 weekend in Hungary (Saturday, 17501955hr­s, Sky Sports F1). The new-for-2019 championsh­ip has attracted some of the best junior single-seater talents around and the title fight is delicately poised after these races.

Closer to home, there’s also BRDC

British F3 action from the penultimat­e round of the season at Silverston­e, where Clement Novalak and Johnathan Hoggard continued their fight for the crown (Monday, 1700-1800hrs, BT Sport 2).

And finally, if club racing is of greater interest to you, then you can catch all of the frenetic Caterham action from a recent Donington Park meeting on Sunday (08000900hr­s, Eurosport 2).
