Technically, before DRS, cars had no moving aerodynamics at all. So it is a bit of a misnomer. I think they did, they had the front moveable wing before DRS for a couple of seasons, didn't they? The driver had to select which position to use. They did. I have absolutely no memory of this at the tim...
