Yes because the Imam recites surah Al-Fatiha and it counts for you.

Salah of a Hanafi who doesn't recite Surah Al-Fatiha behind the Imam will be fine and complete without any problems, see details here:

1) وَإِذَا قُرِىءَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُواْ لَهُ وَأَنصِتُواْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ .(الأعراف، 204)

So, when the Qur'an is recited, listen to it, and be silent that you may receive mercy. (Quran 7: 204)

2) When Hadhrat Ata bin Yasaar (A.R) enquired from Hadrat Zaid bin Thaabit (Radiyallahu anhu) concerning reciting behind the Imam, he replied, "There is no recitation whatsoever behind the Imam." [Muslim, vol. 1, pg. 410]

3) Hadrat Jabir Radiyallahu anhu mentioned, "There is no salaah for him who does not recite Surah Fatiha in salaah, except for the one who performs salaah behind an Imam (he will not even recite Surah Fatiha when following the Imam)" [Tirmidhi]. Imam Tirmidhi (Rehmatullah alayh) says that this Hadith is Hasan and that from this Hadith Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Rehmatullah alayh) deduced that the salah of the person who does not recite Surah Fatiha will not be valid when he performs salah individually.

4) عن أبي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : إنما جعل الإمام ليؤتم به فلا تختلفوا عليه فإذا كبر فكبروا وإذا قرأ فأنصتوا...(سنن البيهقي، 2/157، أشرفيه)

The Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi WaSallam) says: "For indeed the Imam is to be followed so do not oppose him, if he does Takbir so do as he does and if he recites (Qur'an) remain silent..." (Bayhaqi)
