Highlights of this afternoon's action from Silverstone at the British Grand Prix, with Damon Hill a strong pre-race favourite on a course where the fast comers and long straights should suit his Williams Renault.
Hill won this race in 1994, but failed to finish last year after a controversial tussle with his arch rival and reigning world champion Michael Schumacher.
This season, Hill has dominated Formula 1 and comes to Silverstone with a 25-point lead in the drivers' championship and the title in his sights. Race commentary comes from the team of Murray Walker, Jonathan Palmer and Tony Jardine.

What is a nation? From Corsica to Kashmir, from Quebec to Bosnia, violent separatist movements are fighting to form their own nation states. This edition of Arena explores the fabric of national identity, and follows four of the world's leading commentators on the subject - Eric Hobsbawm, Eqbal Ahmad, Desmond Tutu and Maxine Hong Kingston - as each embarks on a personal investigation into the different stories their nations told them.

Arena 7.55pm BBC2
Three-and-a-half hours of television, four world-famous writers and thinkers, locations as far flung as Vienna and Johannesburg: those are the ingredients that make up this Arena special, Stories My Country Told Me.
The issue of national identity has never been so pressing as small chunks of the globe are fiercely defended as the homeland for certain groups of people. But why, when world culture is increasingly amorphous, should this be? Archbishop Desmond Tutu gives the keynote to the enquiry in a report from South Africa, where the disenfranchised black population brought urgency to the struggle for citizenship. Historian Eric Hobsbawm reports from Austria, writer Maxine Hong Kingston travels to Vietnam and Professor Eqbal Ahmad returns to India and Pakistan.

Polly Toynbee offers her views on the state of the nation on page 11.
