Toto's missed pit calls several times this season costing Hamilton probably enough points to have come into the last round with an unassailable lead, and he should have pitted Hamilton last night and didn't.

Calling up Masi demanding for no safety car just moments after a significant crash isn't tactical management, it is begging.

Red Bull acted, Toto fiddled while Hamilton burned!

Forget about what happened prior to the last race.
From last night, he did nothing wrong.

If he pits Lewis at any other point, Max gets track position by not pitting. The latifi incident at the end is a 1 / 100 chance of happening the way it did. That one chance occurred last night. Play that race again and 99 other times lewis wins because latifi doesn't crash then and Lewis is still leading.

Yes Toto begging was average, but horner was doing it a lap earlier begging for lapped cars to be let through.
Toto could see however many millions been 'taken from him and his company and he is right to get emotional.

Damon Hill, Jensen Button and Nico Rosberg all said that Lewis should've been penalised at the start and that ultimately letting them race at the end was the right thing to do.

The only grey area is 'only' letting the 5 cars passed, but reality is, letting the other cars passed has no bearing on their individual races, but could ultimately mean the safety car is required for another lap (while they jnlap themselves) and hands the title to Lewis under yellows.
I think common sense was at play there, even if there was no real scope for that decision in the rule book.

For the record, I don't feel strongly one way or the other for Lewis and Max. Either way its a good story, and either way an arrogant prick wins it.

I appreciated the spectacle of it. The last 2 races,  including qualifying, have been some of the best races I've ever seen.
Martin Brundle said its the best championship he's seen in his 25 years commentating.

How people were turned off by that I don't understand.
