That's what pissed me off more though... the call wasn't bogus, according to the rules he was "blocking". The problem is that their definition of blocking isn't right. Actual blocking is making an unsafe maneuver to cut off the guy trying to pass... what IRL calls blocking is actually brilliant defensive racing, because taking the slower inside line to protect cis risky in its own right because it's slippery there and can be countered by a good passing driver. IRL is just cheating the fans out of fantastic racing with their poorly made up rules.
Either way I'm glad Helio went off too, but you're right, there's no excuse for getting physical with the officials.
