I feel you on the boring parts of F1.
This, coupled with the idiotic halo they just have to put on the cars next year will mean that I spend my weekends a bit differently.
But, to the matter at hand, the vid only seems to be blocked when it is embedded on websites. I had a "watch this on youtube" link in the message and when I clicked there it took me to youtube.com and the vid started playing. Whatever the reasoning is to block embedded vids but not the vid altogether is beyond me. But then again, so is uglyfying the car with apendages that make it look like a flipflop...
"This video contains content from Formula One Management, who has blocked it..."
That is the message I got trying to watch the video embedded in the article.
The exclusivity and false sense of importance portrayed by F1 is just really lame, I feel like they go out of their way to make it hard to watch.
This coupled with the fact the actual racing has been boring and over regulated makes me glad I don't waste my time with F1 any more.
