Old threat, but again i have to make some corrections as the Ferrari website is wrong. The F310 B already had power steering and was the first Ferrari with power steering. In 1997 after Canada Ross Brawn said:"I'd like to see some feel come back into the steering. I think that the sensivity of the steering is not very good, which is something that may be hindering Eddie more than Michael. I want to have the steering more direct than it is right now. We are working on suspension geometry, part of which is to do with steering. At the moment the entry to a corner is very critical. We can't do anything about the middle of the corner as the entry becomes even more critical, so you're balancing. We can stop understeer in the middle by having a lot of oversteer on entry, which is not necessarily the best solution. So what we have at the moment is the best compromise between the two.
We have a power steering system, which because of its design takes a bit of feel away from the driver. I want to try to bring that back. Its a pretty major package, involving a complete redesign of the front suspension. What we are looking for is a bit more stability on entry, and a bit more consistency between entry and middle."
So Ferrari obviously used a power steering system on the F310B in 1997 already. Most of the teams introduced power steering around 1996/1997. There were a few teams who even had power steering before(Ligier was the first team to use it in 1987) but i leave this out. So since the steering forces became higher and higher most of the teams introduced power steering in 1996/1997. Williams, Minardi(2001, i think)and Arrows(1999) were the last teams to introduce it. Williams introduced power steering in Imola 97, while the other Topteams like Benetton and McLaren had already introduced power steering in 1996.
