Singapore authorities have rejected reports that Ferrari boss Maurizio Arrivabene was detained for littering in the city state last weekend.
Publications in Spain and the United Kingdom 'revealed' that the Ferrari chief was in custody for six hours and fined 1000 Singapore dollars for throwing a cigarette butt on the ground.
However, the country's national environment agency has denied the claims.
"Reports in the international media on this matter are bogus," the agency reportedly told local Channel NewsAsia.
Singapore authorities also played down reports that the raced faced its lowest ever spectator turnout last weekend.
"That's really more a reflection of the global environment in terms of economic uncertainty and so on," government minister S Iswaran is quoted by the local Today publication.
"It's a little bit like in 2009, when you had the global financial crisis," he added. "There was a major correction and then it went up again quite strongly."
