Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur said he delivered a clear message to Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc on Thursday evening in Brazil as he attempted to clear the air between the two teammates.
Hamilton demanded "serious talks" with Vasseur and Leclerc last Sunday after his shot at victory at the Mexico City Grand Prix was scuppered by Leclerc's attempt to pass him on the opening lap of the race.
Although no contact was made between the drivers, both ended up off the track, with Hamilton losing a position to eventual race winner Max Verstappen while Leclerc received a penalty for leaving the circuit and gaining an advantage.
The fallout between the two drivers was left hanging after the race as Vasseur traveled back to Ferrari's factory in Maranello and Leclerc returned home to Monaco to be present at the birth of his first child.
Speaking during Thursday's media day, Hamilton said he was still "frustrated" by the incident and vowed not to be "silenced" on the issue.
On Friday, Vasseur confirmed clear-the-air talks had taken place the previous evening, with both drivers reminded of their responsibility to the team.
"We did it," he said. "We did it yesterday evening because I had to fly back to Europe between the two races, but it went well. It was good to discuss, good to clarify my position and their position that it was good to do.
"Now we turn the page and we are focused on the next one."
Asked if new rules had been put in place to avoid a repeat, Vasseur added: "The guidelines are still the same, I think they accumulated perhaps a bit of frustration because they are starting each weekend side by side and you have a kind of accumulation of facts.
"But at the end of the day, the guidelines are always the same. They need to respect each other, that they are two competitors with the fighting spirit for sure, but they need to have respect for the other one. But mainly and firstly, they need to respect the brand, the team, the people working at home, the people working on track.
"I think we are putting a lot of effort on this and the message was clear and will stay clear."

The incident in Mexico followed a similar first lap battle between the Ferrari drivers at the Italian Grand Prix, which left Hamilton calling on Vasseur to introduce clearer rules between the two drivers.
But the Ferrari team boss, who has long-standing relationships with both drivers, refused to go into details about what was discussed.
"We had a discussion, it has to stay private," he said. "It's a matter of respect also for them and for the team and once again, the most important is the message.
"The message is that we are working for a brand, we are working for sponsors, but I would say probably mainly we are working for the employees of the team and we had a good recovery in terms of performance.
"We came back after Madrid with a much better shape and this is due to the work of the people at home. We all, as a team, we all have to keep this in mind that it's not due to the wind or whatever, it's due to the work of the people and the employees of the company and it was the tone of the message."
