Yes he was. It was an intentional blocking since, I was watching it from
the skybox. This is why he got the bump from the car behind him.

Well, he owned both cars ahead of him and his son was in one. If he didn't
think he could win in the last half-lap, I'd bet he'd help his own cars and
his kid win it. The point is, was he blocking the people behind him or not?
And wouldn't you block people to try and maintain your place over them
anyway? Finishing 3rd is better than finishing 5th, there's still a points
race. I think he won the title one year with only one race win.
