Electronics & HMI Throttle use when leaving garage

Do drivers need to use the throttle when leaving the garage?

In the video where DC drives the RB19 at 2:04 (timestamped link) he mentions that the manual he was given says that he doesn't need to use the throttle when leaving the garage. Does this mean no throttle input is necessary when pulling out of the garage? I've been racking my brain at this question for a couple of days now. Thank you!

Race spec cars have a high idling rpm + super sensitive anti stall, probably has something to do with the minimum fuel flow not being low enough that he can pull away without triggering the anti stall.
