I totally agree with you but I'm just trying to see it from Sky's point of view. Sky and adverts have always been commonplace and they knew (as much as the fans would dispise it) they had to have adverts somewhere. They've compensated by making the race adverts-free so I'm gonna be grateful for that.

Lewis Hamilton: The BEST overtaker on the grid since '07.

Respect to ALL F1 drivers. Felipe Massa to a lesser extent.
SKY F1, starting to seriously disappoint! Way too many repeated programmes, I don't need to watch Emerson Fittipaldi Legends of F1 programme four times! And now Sky are advertising during practice, five minutes of ads every 30 minutes it seems. I'm betting that they'll advertise between Q1, Q2 and Q3 sessions as well, this is exactly why I was opposed to F1 going to Sky!
No adverts during the race though.
Ads during practice are understandable since there's not much action.
Maybe not when weather is wet but in dry sessions there is often lots going on, losing 15 - 20 minutes of the practice to adverts will turn many off, let's face it, it's only the hardcore fan that watches the practice sessions, I actually liked the BBC practice because when things were slow, the commentary team would often talk tech, we miss that because of the ads!
