In the final stages of last weekend's Japanese Grand Prix, Gasly was asked to let Ocon by to repay the favour from earlier in the race, as the pair ran ninth and 10th.
He initially refused to comply and only let Ocon through on the last corner of the final lap after repeated pleas by his race engineer.
Gasly reacted furiously because he felt he was the quicker car on the day and was always going to be ahead thanks to his faster strategy.
His misunderstanding also stemmed from a lack of communication before the race about this exact scenario.
But interim team principal Bruno Famin said the reversal was the right thing to do, because Gasly was only allowed to pass Ocon to see if he could overtake the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso in front, with the positions then swapped when it became clear that wasn't going to happen.
