The 26-year-old Briton and 30-year-old Brazilian, who had collided six times in their respective McLaren and Ferrari cars this year, had endured a long period of tense and often acrimonious rivalry.
Hamilton took the initiative by walking down the pit lane to find Massa and giving him a big hug reciprocated by the Brazilian.
Massa said: "I was pleased that Lewis came around to see me. It was a very nice gesture on his part and I think we both feel good now."
Hamilton said: "I have great respect for Felipe and it was good for me to go and see him and have a nice chat. I have always liked him and I am really looking forward to racing against him again next year."
