Should F1 introduce two mandatory pit stops at every grand prix?

F1 is currently discussing the possibility of having two mandatory pit stops - is it a good idea?

The F1 Commission recently met to discuss the possibility of making two pit stops mandatory during every grand prix.

Under the current regulations, every race that is deemed dry requires a driver to make at least one pit stop and change to a different compound.

A growing trend of simplistic one-stop strategies has generated complaints that races have become too predictable.

An idea to inject two mandatory pit stops has sprouted, a scheme that was trialled in Monaco earlier this year, to little success.

But should F1 explore its use outside of Monaco and implement it at every grand prix?
