Pye's gilrfriend spent a while working at Carlin and her Carlin bolter brother is friends with Pye. Their pop is McLaren's former test team manager Indy Lal who has Magnussen in their Mclaren driver program and spent a good amount of time with Carlin guiding and keeping an eye on Kevin.
Pye has exclusive Mercedes backing and visited Mercedes on Monday and seemed happy, his chances of driving for Carlin probably stand at about -100. Also Carlin are unlikely to want him of need him, he's a kind of foot in mouth driver I've heard. It woudn't be smart to abandon Mercedes and this years performance and behaviour is unlikely to see him get a better deal I would assume.
Pye also belongs to Roland Dane camp, I can't see a Carlin link coming from that angle either.
