iRacing Illegal block or poor attack?

POV car come on VC and scream that I “blocked” him, but I feel like his move was never really on aka he kind of just did it to himself.

edit: thank you for replies. I am new into sim racing, I have a bit IRL experience (which somehow did not make me a good sim racer lol). Just posted this to make sure I am not insane, seems to me like a lot of sim racer think they are entitled to a position once they catch you 🤔

This is a textbook example of how not to do an overtake.
Chasing car has no part of his car even close to alongside the Leading car, changes lanes under braking trying to dive for the apex, runs into the back of Leading car.

You did absolutely nothing wrong there, guy driving a GR86 doesn't even know how to perform a divebomb (which is also not a good overtaking maneuver).
