A major criticism of ITV's coverage was they were permitted to show advertisements during the coverage which promoted a huge number of complaints from fans. This was the case at the [[2005 San Marino Grand Prix]] when the broadcaster cut to a commercial break during the closing moments of the race which garnered 126 complaints from viewers. [[Ofcom]] ruled that ITV breached section 6.7 of the Rules on the Amount and Scheduling of Advertising.<ref>{{cite web|last=Welsh|first=James|title=126 viewers complain over ITV F1 ad break|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/media/news/a22709/126-viewers-complain-over-itv-f1-ad-break.html|publisher=Digital Spy|date=2005-07-18}}</ref> The broadcasters also had not shown the post-race press conference segment featuring [[Jenson Button]] comment's about the race.<ref>{{cite web|title=F1 broadcaster guilty|url=http://formula-1.updatesport.com/news/article/1121719837/formula_one/F1headlines/F1-broadcaster-guilty/view.html|publisher=updatef1.com|date=2005-07-18}}</ref> ITV repeated the last three laps after the race and as a result of these complaints, the server on their website crashed. An on-air apology was made by Jim Rosenthal before the start of the [[2005 Spanish Grand Prix|next race in Spain]] two weeks later.<ref>{{cite news | title = Rosenthal sorry for race break | publisher = The Guardian | url = http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2005/apr/25/formulaone.matthewhancock | accessdate =2008-06-12 | ___location=London | first=Matthew | last=Hancock | date=2005-04-25}}</ref>
