Marussia's closest rival is the Caterham team that has scored no points since joining in 2010.
The average duration of job post for the Marussia F1 Team averages only 42 days.
Meanwhile, Marussia confirmed their 2013 driver line-up by signing Frenchman Jules Bianchi to join Britain's Max Chilton.
Marussia F1 is majority-owned by the Moscow-based car company whose name it bears.
Meanwhile, Russian team Marussia has replaced Timo Glock with Brazil's Luis Razia as its second driver for the 2013 season.
Marussia will now continue its preparations for this weekend's German Grand Prix at Hockenheim, the 10th race of the 2012 season.
Asked whether he thought Pic had let his future team mates through on lap 65, Marussia CEO Graeme Lowdon was dismissive.
Beyond the balance sheet, however, the Marussia team has a broader incentive: selling Formula One in the potentially lucrative Russian market.
While Glock could yet turn up at Caterham or Force India, Marussia is yet to announce a replacement for the German.
The team will be rebranded as Marussia Virgin Racing in 2011 and their new car is set to be launched in Moscow.

And on Sunday, after nearly two hours of rain-affected racing, some of that slipped away from Marussia as Pic left the corner behind Petrov.
Caterham bosses hope new developments on their 2013 car will help them catch up on the Marussia and close the gap on the midfield runners.
Tuesday's test was the first time De Villota had been behind the wheel of the MR01 car, and Booth said Marussia officials are investigating the accident.
De Villota joined Britain-based Marussia in July after a career which has included spells in Spanish Formula Three, the Euroseries 3000 and the Daytona 24 Hours.
Group Lotus - part of Malaysia's Proton car company - is sponsoring the Renault team this season and the Russian sports car manufacturer Marussia has bought into Virgin.
"We are satisfied that the findings of our internal investigation exclude the car as a factor in the accident, " Marussia team principal John Booth said in a statement.
Tuesday was the first time De Villota had been behind the wheel of Marussia's MR01 car, although she did conduct a test for the Renault team last year.
John Booth, Marussia's team principal, said Chilton had shown enough potential to earn his chance, as Marussia try to improve on their 11th-place finish in last year's constructors' championship.
Meanwhile, Marussia test driver Maria de Villota has left hospital in her native Spain and will return home to recover from the crash in Britain that cost her an eye.
De Villota was recruited by UK-based Marussia -- formerly known as Virgin Racing -- in March, having driven in Spanish Formula Three, the Euroseries 3000 and the Daytona 24 Hours.
In order to train for her job as a test driver for the Formula One team Marussia, Maria de Villota puts on a weighted helmet and does a couple hundred head rolls.

"It's fantastic to be back with the Marussia F1 Team and with pretty much the same group of people I worked with back in 2010 when I was reserve driver, " Razia told the Marussia website.
At the back of the grid, it came to light in October that Marussia, which is owned by a Russian sports car manufacturer, was in talks with potential investors about buying a stake in the team.
Both areas are on the rise, and the nine most valuable teams have seen their values increase an average 27% over the last two years (we did not include Caterham, Marussia or Hispania in our 2010 valuations).

There are five drivers -- Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi of Marussia, Sauber's Esteban Gutierrez, Valtteri Bottas of Williams and Van der Garde of Caterham -- who joined F1 in 2013 with limited experience of driving an F1 car.
Chilton finished fourth in the GP2 series, which acts as a feeder competition for F1, and showed promise in his two performances in the Marussia car, in a young driver test and in free practice at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
"I have had three excellent years with the Marussia F1 Team, during which I had the chance to actively participate in building and developing the team in its endeavours to succeed within the Formula 1 World Championship, " Glock said in a statement.
