The nadir in F1’s quest for legitimacy in the US may have come in 2005. At the end of the formation lap at the US Grand Prix at Indianapolis that year, the teams supplied with Michelin tires drove their cars straight into the pits, where they would remain for the duration of the race. This farce, and the resulting outcry from screwed-over American racing fans, led to Michelin offering to reimburse ticketholders, Champ Car offering free admission to their next race, and numerous voiced opinions, including that of F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, questioning the sport’s future in the States. How many cars started this race?
Six

Current fans probably think that the most notable call in the history of British soccer is Martin Tyler shouting the last name of Sergio Aguero as he scored the sensational stoppage-time winner that delivered the 2012 Premier League title to Manchester City. But for older fans, nothing tops the startled observation by Kenneth Wolstenholme at the end of the 1966 World Cup Final at Wembley Stadium. As England’s Geoff Hurst rampaged forward to score the championship-clinching goal (and complete the only hat trick in a World Cup Final), Wolstenholme saw fans coming out of the stands, and blurted out, “some people are on the pitch …” His next words became an unforgettable quote which resonates in British popular culture to this day, and were even adopted as the title of a sports trivia show which ran for over a decade on BBC television. What was Kenneth Wolstenholme’s famous next line?
“They think it's all over!”
