50-70 is unimaginable, not with v8, never. try 10-15. 50-70 was the case when they were on v10s AND engine development was allowed throught the season, so the manufacturers might ended the season with that sort of advantage as compared to those who bought their engines (jag vs minardi for example) but the top manufacturers, even in the v10 era, they never been that far from eachother, they all know every little trick in this business, 20-30top could have happend (1998-1999 in favour of Mclaren) but that was it.
