Who gets the reward money?

In the wake of Ron Dennis revealing that Nigel Stepney initially approached Mike Coughlan as a "whistleblower", revealing details of Ferrari's illegal moving floor, which the Italian team used in Australia to great effect, two questions remain.

1: Don't whistleblowers usually report wrong-doing directly to the authorities - in this case the FIA - as opposed to business rivals?

2: Does this 'whistleblowing' count in terms of the $1m reward the FIA was offering a few years back?

With Nigel Stepney's job prospects looking bleaker by the hour, the reward money would probably come in handy. Then again, since it was McLaren that went to the FIA, will the Woking team get the dosh?

Perhaps they'll share it, or give it to charity.
