McLaren sits just one point ahead of Ferrari for the dubious honour of second runner-up behind Brawn and Red Bull.
But Germany's Auto Motor und Sport reports that the team with its nose in front after the 2009 finale stands to win more than just the race numbers 5 and 6 for 2010.
The outcome of the constructors' standings is how the teams' share of the sport's commercial income is divvied up.
"We will have to do all we can to bring home a third place finish in the championship, which we are very keen to do and I am sure that all of us, drivers and team, will do all in our power to try and reach this target," said Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali.
