Absolutely...however teams are constantly monitoring [1] each others performance to see if any particular team is "gaming" the regulations to gain an advantage. So any particular wheezes generally don't stay quiet for long.
But yes, for the FIA its a constant battle updating the F1 technical regulations to best enforce the most equal playing field possible.
[1] Typically through after crash inspection, photography and high speed film of opponents cars but most effectively by poaching other teams key personnel.
