(Reuters) - Rival team bosses Toto Wolff and Christian Horner said on Wednesday that Formula One needed to turn the page on the controversies of the contentious 2021 title battle and especially the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The year served up one of the closest and most riveting battles in Formula One history as Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull's Max Verstappen engaged in a no-holds-barred battle of the generations that went all the way down to the last race in Abu Dhabi.
