Lando Norris is nearing a potential victory in the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship, bringing attention not only to his racing skills but also to his girlfriend, Margarida Corceiro. Margarida, a Portuguese model and actress who has transitioned into the F1 paddock scene, has garnered significant fame outside the racing world. Her glamorous lifestyle and public appearances have sparked some controversy among F1 competitors.
The couple’s public display of affection after Lando’s win in Budapest earlier this year thrust them into the spotlight, drawing both admiration and criticism from fans and rivals. Margarida, also known as Magui, rose to prominence as a teen actress in Portugal and later ventured into modeling, acting, and influencer activities. With a substantial following on Instagram and TikTok, she has become one of Portugal’s most recognizable figures.
Known for her luxurious lifestyle showcased on social media, Margarida co-founded an eco-conscious swimwear brand and has collaborated with various renowned brands. Despite being labeled primarily as an F1 driver’s partner, Margarida’s individual success has been acknowledged, as evidenced by being named the most influential person on Instagram in Portugal.
The relationship between Lando and Margarida, initially kept low-key, was officially confirmed during the Hungarian Grand Prix in August 2025. Margarida’s presence at races has stirred controversy, with some, like former McLaren teammate Carlos Sainz, criticizing the focus on partners rather than the on-track action in TV coverage. Margarida has maintained that her role is solely to support Lando, emphasizing her lack of technical knowledge about Formula 1.
As Lando aims for his first F1 World Drivers’ Championship, Margarida stands by his side, providing unwavering support amid the season’s highs and lows. Despite the mixed reactions to their public relationship, the power couple seems poised to continue making waves in the F1 paddock.
