Is there a turbo lag in Formula 1 engines?

Is there turbo lag in Formula 1 cars? If so, what are the measures to minimise it?

Modern F1 cars do not have a turbolag because of the ERS-H (energy recycing system). It reserves heat energy, but is also able to accelerate the turbo to it's optimal range. The charger between the two sides of the turbo can be used to spin it up to pace.
