F1's 'spying' saga of two seasons ago has finally been closed after McLaren reached agreement with Italian legal authorities.
Charges against former McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan and three current employees of the Woking-based team have now been dropped on a 'nolo contendere' (no contest) basis.
However, Coughlan will have to pay €180,000 (£158,000) in exchange for not contesting charges of copyright infringement relating to Ferrari's data.
Engineers Paddy Lowe, Jonathan Neale and Rob Taylor will each have to pay €150,000 (£131,500).
