Detroit: Indycar blocking rule

Having watched the Detroit race, although I'm pleased Wilson won and had the pace to do so on merit, it was unfortunate it was decided from race control.

I was hoping someone could elaborate on the IndyCar definition of 'blocking'.

Is it the Champ Car definition; any form of defensive driving, or the 'European' definition of weaving to block an opponent?

If it's the former Castroneves was clearly guilty even though on a road course I think it's a stupid rule; if the latter it was a harsh decision, but I'm not sure which interpretation is correct.
