A "block" is a move in reaction to the car behind you. You may move but then must hold that line. The commentators noted that he did reaction moves 3 times. Once and you get the stink eye. Twice and you get a review. Three times? Indycar refused to even review. La la la, I can't see or hear you.
Another driver got penalized for a block in the race and had to give up two positions. That would have put Palou behind drivers and may not have been able to get back in front of them. He would have had to use more overtakes and burn his tires that much harder to get back to the front.
Palou is the fair haired child this year and the decision was totally political. (Indycar has done this in previous years with other favored drivers).
