"I have been talking to him afterwards," the four-time world champion told F1.com. "It is clear that in such a situation there are always two sides to the matter, but I would say that we've been able to overcome any friction so I do not have any issues with him."
Vettel even praised the job Verstappen is doing, but insisted he still had a lot to learn.
"We must never forget that he is doing a fantastic job given his age," he said. "So it should be normal that he still has got a lot to learn - that this is not a crowbar competition but racing."
With regards to his radio outburst in Mexico, Vettel considers it a matter not worth talking about.
"I would say that I have learned my lesson," he insisted. "In the end it is a matter that should be debated - whether emotional outbursts in a race situation should be aired or not. I suppose in the future there will be much less talking!"
