No, no, no. Those F1 guys misunderstand turbo lag. See prior post from our resident turbo "expert" who claims everyone else uses the wrong definition. Also worth noting that F1 folks see the need for turbo lag reduction/elimination. Lot's of turbo apologists, or perhaps just those who love the turbo hit, deny an advantage in lack of turbo lag on a road coarse/race.
