you dont have to stop in F1 in fact they try and stay out of there but Tyres only last so long, plus you cant race in the wet on the wrong tyres so you have no choice but to change them now and then (tyres are made with no comprise for grip in wet dry and intermediate conditions). It would make F1 boring if they didn't come in, no change in leader , no chance to hop in front of someone via snappy pit stop. If your thinking of that Australian NASCAR thing (aka some plane company supercars) they have to make stops , but as I don't follow it much those rules could have changed recently, but they do specify a tank size and race distance for supercraps so its easy to make people stop without it being in the "rules"
