Earlier this season, team principal Christian Horner was subject to an internal investigation having been accused of inappropriate behaviour by a female colleague.

Stella 'delighted' to secure signing
It's been an up-and-down season on the track too, with both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez struggling for form in recent months.
Their run of poor results has allowed McLaren move ahead in the constructors' championship, and with only six races remaining, are now firm favourites to take the title.
And the British team have now delivered another dent to their rival's ambitions, after announcing the signing of their head of race strategy, Will Courtenay.
The move brings an end to what has been a successful 19-year era at Red Bull, with the Brit set to embark on a new challenge as McLaren's sporting director.
McLaren boss Andrea Stella hailed the team's latest signing
Team principal Andrea Stella said in a statement: "We are delighted to welcome Will to McLaren.
"His experience, professionalism and passion for motorsport make him the ideal candidate to lead our F1 sporting function.
"We are now entering a key phase in our journey as a team, and we are confident that he will be a great addition to our strong leadership team as we strive to continue challenging for wins and championships."
