With the approaching possibility of Lando Norris securing a victory in the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship this weekend, the McLaren standout is not the sole focus of attention. His girlfriend, Margarida Corceiro, is also capturing a share of the spotlight.
Margarida, a former Portuguese model and actress who has now become an influential figure in the F1 paddock, has garnered significant fame away from the racetrack. However, her glamorous lifestyle, appearances in the public eye, and the resulting media attention have stirred up controversy among competitors in the F1 circuit.
Following the public display of affection between the couple after Lando’s triumph in Budapest earlier this year, the scrutiny and spotlight have intensified on the young pair, inviting comments from fans and rivals alike.
Margarida Corceiro, also known as Magui, rose to prominence in her teenage years as an actress in Portuguese TV series and as a participant in the local edition of Dancing with the Stars in 2020. Since then, she has diversified her career to include modeling, acting, and influencer activities. With over 2.2 million Instagram followers and a substantial TikTok fan base, she has established herself as one of Portugal’s most recognizable personalities.
Her social media presence showcases a lifestyle characterized by fashion shoots, luxurious vacations, and daily snippets of her life, reinforcing an image of opulence and elegance.
Aside from her personal endeavors, Margarida is also a co-founder of the environmentally conscious swimwear brand MISSUS and has collaborated with major brands like Intimissimi, Alo Yoga, and Kérastase. Her achievements extend beyond being associated with an F1 driver, evident from her recognition as the most influential figure on Instagram in Portugal by Forbes Portugal.
Despite occasional jests from Lando about his relationship status, insiders were aware of his connection with Margarida for some time. Their public appearances together have fueled speculation, with their relationship being officially acknowledged during the Hungarian Grand Prix in August 2025, where they shared a celebratory moment following Lando’s victory.
While Margarida’s presence has stirred debate within the F1 community, with concerns raised by former McLaren teammate Carlos Sainz regarding the focus on partners rather than on-track action, her unwavering support for Lando has been evident throughout the season.
In interviews, Margarida has emphasized her role as a supporter rather than a technical enthusiast of Formula 1, highlighting her focus on backing her partner amidst his racing endeavors.
As Lando approaches a potential milestone in his career at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Margarida’s steadfast presence by his side signifies a new power couple in the F1 paddock, signaling their intent to remain a significant presence amid the ongoing competitive landscape.
