Nowadays, well not exactly, but recently it was said that one of the top teams did employ a form of launch control. Don't know if it was true or not, but it is said that the team worked out a way of killings cylinders on the start line and making it sound like it was miss firing as per a normal start. Once the car launched then the dead cylinders would come back and everything would be normal again. All speculative mind you.
