When is the Munguia vs Smith fight?

Jaime Munguia vs Liam Smith takes place on Saturday, July 21 in Las Vegas at 10pm ET and 7pm PT – so that’s 3am BST.

The venue for the fight is Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Tonight the current WBO junior middleweight champion, Jaime “The Beast” Munguia takes on Liverpool’s former World light-middleweight champion Liam “Beefy” Smith in Las Vegas’ Hard Rock Cafe in a battle for the title.

The 21-year-old Munguia is back after thrashing Sadam Ali for the WBO title. Now, just two months later, Munguia is defending his title against a more evenly matched 154lb 29-year-old Liam Smith. As a former title holder Smith will be hungry to win. Especially as the Ali fight, which won Munguia the title, was meant for him originally before he had to pull out.

Beefy Smith will fight for the first time in the capital of US boxing, Las Vegas. On top of that he’s taking on an unbeaten Munguia who has a stunning 26 knockouts in 29 bouts. 

Smith says: “Munguia is obviously a dangerous puncher and I’ll have to be wary of him early on, but he’s never fought someone as good as me and a fully-fledged 154lb fighter.”

If you want to see his words backed up with fists, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to find out how you can live stream the Munguia vs Smith boxing from anywhere in the world.

German Grand Prix – where and when

This year’s German Grand Prix will be at Hockenheim on the West side of Germany (the closest big city is Stuttgart) after a rest in 2017.

These are the key dates and timings you need to know for the weekend of motor racing, with local times given:

Practice 3: Saturday July 21 at midday (11am BST, 6am ET, 3am PT)

Qualifying: Friday July 21 at 3pm (2pm BST, 9am ET, 6am PT)

The GP itself is on Sunday July 22 at 3.10pm (2.10pm BST, 9.10am ET, 6.10am PT)

The German Grand Prix is back on the F1 calendar, and this weekend marks the halfway point in the 2018 Formula 1 season. It’s looking more and more like a two horse race, with Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel scrapping it out at the top of the Drivers’ World Championship leaderboard. Who will be number one by the time Sunday’s done?

The good news is that you can stream F1 live to find out – and it doesn’t even matter where in the world you live. Cast your eyes down the page if that’s all you want to know. You can even do so for free in certain regions!

In terms of how the German Grand Prix has gone down in previous years, Hamilton leads the head-to-head with three previous wins compared to Vettel’s one. He’ll be desperate to make it four on Vettel’s home turf, after the German bloodied the Brit’s nose at Silverstone a fortnight ago.

But it’s not just about these elite former F1 champions – what of the rest of the field? The German GP could be their opportunity to claw back some points and make a surge in the last 10 races. Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen flew around Hockenheim in Friday’s practice sessions and will want to maintain that momentum into Sunday’s race.

You can stream F1 live with our advice in this guide. Keep reading to find out how to watch the German Grand Prix coverage absolutely anywhere.

A VPN is perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address so you appear to be in a completely different location. We’ve tested hundreds of VPNs and can recommend these as the best VPNs currently available:

1. Express VPN (comes with a 30 day money back guarantee)
This is the #1 rated best VPN in the world right now. You can watch on many devices at once including Smart TVs, Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, iPhone, Android phone, iPads, tablets etc. Check out Express VPN

How to live stream F1 action from Germany: UK stream

Unfortunately, watching the German Grand Prix isn’t possible on Channel 4, so there are no free-to-air options as such in the UK this weekend. That means that you’re stuck with the Sky Sports F1 channel this time. And that includes the Sky Go app if you’re likely to be away from your TV.

Don’t get too disheartened if you’re not a Sky customer but still want to watch the race. Grab a NOW TV Sports Pass and you can watch the F1 (as well as the rest of the Sky Sports offerings) without a lengthy (or expensive) subscription. A daily pass costs £7.99 or a week is £12.99. And by our count you can access NOW on more than 60 devices, including TV, mobile phones, and games consoles. You can register up to four of them at once.

If you’re out of the UK, but still want to watch using your Sky or NOW apps, then you’ll need to download a VPN service and relocate your IP to the UK. There are full instructions how to do so below.

How to watch the German Grand Prix: US live stream

In the US, ESPN and ABC have the rights to show the F1 live (using Sky’s UK coverage). That’s great news if you have cable, but if you’re a cord-cutter you could try a free trial to another streaming service like Sling and Fubo and watch on there. 

Out of the US and want to watch the coverage? No worries – just use a VPN and register to a US location.

How to watch the German Grand Prix in Canada

TSN (or RDS for francophones) has the rights to show the F1 in Canada, so cable subscribers can watch all the action live on TV, online or through the network’s handy TSN Go app.

Out of Canada and want to login to your TSN account? No worries – just use a VPN and register to a location in Canada.

How to stream the German Grand Prix in Australia

In Australia? Then your main option is the very snazzy-sounding Fox Sports Race Centre. You’ll be in for some pretty late nights, with the race starting at 11.10pm AEST on Sunday night.

The Fox Sports package doesn’t come cheap, BUT there is a two week FREE trial if you want to give it a try before you buy. That let’s you use the Foxtel Now app as well, so you can live stream to your preferred device.

Use a VPN to watch the German Grand Prix from your country

Unlike the UK, US and Australia, not every country has access to watch a live F1 stream. But not all is lost, using a VPN will let you virtually place your laptop, smartphone, tablet or Smart TV in a country that is showing the German GP:

How do I use a VPN to watch the Grand Prix?

It’s really easy to do – just follow these three steps:

1. Download and install  ExpressVPN or one of our other top three VPN picks from our best VPNS 2018 guide.

2. Open the VPN app, hit ‘choose location’ and select the appropriate location where you know there’s a live stream.

3. Head to the website or download the app hosting the live stream. And away you go!

Where can I watch the Formula One using a VPN?

A VPN will enable you to watch the Germany Grand Prix from literally anywhere. So that obviously includes: Finland, Spain, Israel, Germany, Denmark, India, Netherlands, Brazil, Belgium, Romania, Mexico, France, Sweden, Italy, Portugal, Czech Republic, Ireland, Poland, Kenya, Hungary, South Africa, Indonesia, China, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia, Japan, Egypt and more!

I’m at Farnborough International Airshow, looking down into the cockpit of the jet fighter of the future – and it’s empty. Instead of the usual rows of displays, buttons and switches, there’s nothing but a seat and a stick. 

Everything else is virtual, and housed within a helmet that heavily, but comfortably, encases the pilot’s head, showing your surroundings (simulated, in this case) in colorful full HD.

Raising each hand brings up a menu of switches that you can tap to to toggle different views, and pulling a slide-out menu displays a map of the terrain.

Friends and enemies are flagged in AR, and 3D audio lets you pinpoint their location, even when you can’t see them (active noise reduction cancels out the roar of your own engines).

Tempest

BAE revealed a concept model of Tempest at the Farnborough Air Show

You even have a virtual smartwatch. Raising your left wrist reveals various statistics about your health, including heart rate and ECG readings. If your vital stats indicate that you’re finding the current situation too stressful, the software could suggest handing over some tasks to a wingmate. 

It seems strange to be putting so much trust in the helmet, but the plane will also be able to fly  a UAV, with no pilot in the seat at all.

The next generation

This is a full-scale concept model of Tempest – a next generation fighter jet that will eventually replace the Eurofighter Typhoon. Tempest was a closely guarded secret until this week, when UK defence secretary Gavin Williamson unveiled the model and announced £2bn (about US$2.6bn, AU$35bn) of government funding for the project.

The final plane will be equipped with next-generation weapons technology, including drone swarms that will use artificial intelligence to locate targets, and directed energy weapons – all launched using the virtual controls, or remotely with the plane being flown as a UAV.

Tempest is being developed by BAE Systems with Leonardo, MBDA and Rolls Royce. It’s still at the concept stage, but some of the technology that will be used in the project is already on display at BAE’s stand at the air show.

Future vision

The concept model features a Striker II digital helmet-mounted display, which is designed to give the pilot all the information they need to make split-second decisions and reduce the amount of time spent looking inside the cockpit.

Information is projected onto the helmet’s visor, and displayed at the same focal depth as the outside world. There’s a built-in digital night vision camera, so there’s no need for pilots to use heavy, obtrusive goggles, and whereas previous displays only displayed symbology in monochrome green, which could become confusing. Striker II can color-code enemies and friendlies, making it far easier for the pilot to interpret their surroundings.

Team Tempest system

Tempest will be more than a plane – it will be an air combat system platform

Because the system is software-based, it can be upgraded easily without altering the physical cockpit to update it. This also has great advantages for training; engineers can create a simulator that’s identical to the real jet, and although a simulation is no substitute for flying an actual plane, but the gap is narrowing.

The software could also recreate the experience of flying one plane in a less expensive one, and even be used for aptitude testing as part of an interview process, in preparation for Tempest entering operation in 2035.
