A piece of merchandise for Sergio Perez has apparently leaked online - a baseball cap with last year's inter.mx logo replaced by the logo of KitKat, with some cheeky suggestions that he's hinting at it being time to 'have a break'.

The 33-year-old spent most of last season fending off rumours about his future at Red Bull after lagging way behind team-mate Max Verstappen in the drivers' championship, winning just two races to the Dutchman's 19.

One thing is for sure, the Mexican will drive for Red Bull in the upcoming 2024 season, but he has plenty of aspects to improve upon, if he wants to get close to supreme three-time world champion team-mate Max Verstappen.

Despite a few hints of Red Bull's new livery for the 2024 season, their car will not be officially unveiled until February 15.

However, the leaking of Perez's new cap may suggest a slightly different design to the team's now ever-present livery, with light blue stripes making up part of the Mexican's new outfit.

KitKat's main slogan for a number of years now has been 'Have a break, have a KitKat', with a large number of hilarious advertising campaigns being born from that.

So, Perez's proposed new cap can only mean one thing... He's going to take a break from F1?
