The new 2014 F1 season is coming to Sky Sports.

Also shaking up the world of motorsport has been the wholesale personnel changes - some prompted by team choices, some dictated by the preferences of drivers. One thing is for sure: the off-season has not been dull!

Reigning champion Sebastian Vettel will again be behind a Red Bull wheel but testing has not gone to plan for the reigning champion and a host of drivers – including Sky Bet favourite Lewis Hamilton – will be looking to claim his crown.

Racing of a different kind takes place at Cheltenham this week with the showpiece of the national hunt season.

The festival is the embodiment of everything that is great about Cheltenham. It is four days of atmosphere, anticipation and action, played out on a beautiful sporting arena.

Here's a peek of what's to come your way in March on Sky Sports.

The 2012 tournament was won by surprise package West Indies - who comfortably overcame hosts Sri Lanka by 36 runs in the final in Colombo. The Windies – with star opening batsman Chris Gayle back in the fold – are showing England why they’ll be tough to beat once again, having handing out a T20 beating in Barbados on Sunday. The two sides meet twice more this week – both games live on Sky Sports 2HD – before the teams fly out to Bangladesh for a cricketing carnival.

One man missing from the England squad is Jonathan Trott following his much-publicised departure from Australia suffering from depression.

Trott will return to cricket with Warwickshire in a pre-season friendly with Gloucestershire at Edgbaston starting on April 1. He is likely to then take on Oxford MCCU at The Parks before the first game of the new County Championship season against Sussex at Edgbaston on April 13.

And that’s not all for Magnificent March. Sky Sports will also bring you ATP Masters tennis from Indian Wells, Super League featuring Wigan v Hull KR, live netball as the Dragons take on the Mavericks plus top class boxing with Tony Bellew and Kell Brook both back in the ring.
