We've had it in Canada for a couple of years and I absolutely LOATHE it, they definitely time it so that the commercial split occurs when there is something interesting happening, so you are tempted to watch the 'effin thing, and then they waste all the screen real estate so you really can't see dick-all.
Guaranteed they will come up during pit stops or passing maneuvers...
I think they ought to leave the race on full screen and then put a box strategically in a corner...sort of like picture on picture, switch the sound to the commercial and then there is a chance I might actually pick up something that they are tryign to sell.
I personally have just started skipping over the commercials anyway (I always record on my PVR) and these are no exception. I also have started noting who advertises and make sure to avoid those products. Any vendor who endorses the kind of shenanigans that these ads are will not get my business....
