Question:
This questioner says: If I enter and the imam has finished reciting al-Fatihah in the prayer where the recitation is loud, do I make the opening supplication, or do I hasten to recite al-Fatihah directly?
Answer:
You should recite the opening supplication, because the imam does not bear the burden of the opening supplication for you. You recite it, and then you recite al-Fatihah after the opening supplication.

Yes.
