ITV appear to have responded to the criticism of the ad breaks during GPs.
At least they managed to show the last 17 laps of the Monaco GP without a break.

I was thinking about this earlier. I had to go out halfway through the race so I recorded it. Later while watching the recording I naturally was fast-forwarding through the commercials and that got me thinking. Why could they not simply put a delay in the live transmission to allow for the adverts? That way the advertisers would be happy and us punters could see the whole of the race with out missing bits and therefor loosing the flow of the race.

We had a p!ss break during the last 5 laps here in Germany. The only free channel showing the race is RTL (I don't have a Premiere subscription). It was a good race though. The best I've seen for years. Ralf is even angry about Michael.
