The stream is being broadcasted on a giant screen a few meters in front of the drivers. I don't know if they get that info, but if something is under investigation, the drivers involved should know it.
In F1, for instance, the team can inform the driver when an incident is under investigation (if the driver cares about it, because usually every major incident is). At these GT live events I don't know how it works.

Agreed. @ExplodeTheApex said something about her. What's the deal man?

5 second penalty awarded during the race is more than 5secs....
Hey man, Julia does a great job.
After the disappointment of not meeting her at the Nations Cup regional finals in Tokyo last year because she wasn't there, I was very happy to meet her at Nurburgring.

Julia looked pregnant to me , but otherwise still the same as usual.

Exactly. Lopez had a 1 sec penalty and lost 2 seconds. A 5 second penalty would likely translate into 7 or 8 seconds lost.
The people saying Hizal could have won if he had finished within 5 seconds of Igor are ignoring the fact that should the penalty have been given during the race, Igor would be 2nd and have Lopez on his tail.
This event was a complete letdown with the L17 incident. Mikal could have kept pushing, but it also seems pointless at that moment. If that incident goes unpunished during the race, it sends a message that Igor will do whatever he can with no integrity for the event to block off any legitimate racing. So alternatively, why should Mikal risk overtaking, considering that a wipeout would cost him a guaranteed spot for the Finals?
Ultimately, that sucks because the outcome of this event was entirely comprimised by Cookie only needing a second place and Igor driving like people do in open lobbies to screw over others. What really disappointed me however was Igor's statement that "racing can be hard" and not showing any remorse at all. Out of all the people at the event, he's the only one that races open-wheeled cars professionally - you can't tell me that he doesn't know any better.
TL;DR: If Mikal kept pushing for the win with the way Igor was "defending" without punishment during the race, there was a serious chance of Cookie not getting a guaranteed seed for Monaco.
Edit: Additionally, the 5 second penalty was worthless, both in result but also in spirit. It was an easy get-out-of-jail card for the stewards to make comfortable decision, rather than one that might inspire drivers to not be ass-hats when they're racing in the top split world-wide. Streamed by PD/Sony themselves to promote the entire product in the first place.

I agree, that is something that I dislike in racing (even in real life) as many penalties are decided or served after the race, and PD stewards are (unfortunately) not the exception

I don't think Igor should have been penalized because he lifted before eau rouge. I was watching his telemetry, he started lifting the gas from 100 to 65% a couple of hundred meters before eau rouge. Imo that was a very "smart" move that is very common on real racing. Drivers do that all the time. In fact I remember a Hamilton x Vettel battle in the same place that one of them used similwr tactics.
I would, however, give him a pen for pushing Nico off in turn 1 after start. That basically destroyed Nicos race. Maybe Igor didn't see him there, but the fact was that Nico had his raced completely compromised because of that.

So, it seems even Kaz Is not happy with Igor or how this post should be interpreted? (Message says something like 'I want every victory to be a great victory')

Any footage for that incident between Hamilton and Vettel? Because I don't remember being anything like what happened today.
Not to mention that in GT, lifting combined with the unrealistic slipstream in a high speed, full throttle section, is pretty much like braking or decelerating for who's coming behind.
Every other driver on the inside managed not to push their opponents on the outside line off track. Only one did it, while on soft tires too.

Said no one. Julia is an awesome presenter that brings energy to the show.

I think Julia has improved, her first time presenting was kind of dire.
On the other hand, I was disappointed by Tom's slip-ups on the broadcast, I heard at least 5 errors. I also have difficulty understanding Jimmy Broadbent's voice, I wish he would enunciate more.
Overall a good watch, with the notable exception of the Pocono-style oval. I had difficulty understanding how skill was involved, and saw several crashes/wall bumps go unpunished, which I thought cheapened the competition.

Personally I'm fed up with the stewards dishing out in-race penalties which merely 'equal' the amount of in-race time lost by the person on the receiving end of the incident.
If the penalty for pushing someone out the way (but not off track) to make a pass is a 1 second slowdown penalty issued 2-3 laps after the "pass" is made I think a lot of drivers are tempted to accept that as a penalty worth getting. The only reason Latkovski got the biggest penalty we've yet seen (10 seconds) is because he cost Miyazono ~10 seconds of race time. Had Miyazono managed to lose control in a less dramatic way the penalty would have been 5 seconds or even less.
Penalties shouldn't just be there to 'correct' the time lost in an incident, they should be there to dissuade drivers from engaging in bad driving, and currently I don't think the penalties being handed out are a sufficient deterrent. In fact, I think they're sufficiently lenient that drivers are making calculated decisions to "move" other drivers out the way and take a small penalty as the cost of doing business.
