I have the same problem as well. On my iBook, the site setting picker keeps showing up. It's annoying.

Youtube annoys me because of the loads of childish people who waste every comment by making it a personal vendetta

What I hate about Youtube is that it shows deleted videos in the search results. Why they do this is a mystery, but it' super annoying. Especially when searching for Formula 1 related videos.

You are probably between the time the video was deleted and the time that the index was updated.

I'm guessing the FIA has a mental breakdown if someone posts an unauthorized video on Youtube so they have the race vids pulled. (And sadly, they probably employ someone to look for stuff like this.) It wouldn't surprise me if NASCAR, or even the NFL and MLB did the same.
