BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - Formula One should be wary of forcing drivers to make more pitstops as part of future efforts to make races more exciting, according to tyre supplier Pirelli's motor racing head Mario Isola.

The idea of having two mandatory pitstops in a grand prix, rather than just one at present, has been around for some years and remains under discussion as the sport plans a major rules revamp after 2020.
