Lando Norris is inching closer to potentially winning the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship this weekend, drawing attention not only to his on-track performance but also to his girlfriend, Margarida Corceiro. Margarida, a Portuguese model and actress who has transitioned into being an F1 paddock muse, has garnered significant fame outside of the racing world. Her glamorous lifestyle and appearances have stirred some controversy among F1 competitors due to the spotlight she shares with Norris.
Known as Magui, Margarida Corceiro gained initial fame as a teenage actress in Portuguese television dramas and a participant in the local version of Dancing with the Stars in 2020. She has since diversified her career into modeling, acting, and influencing, amassing a substantial following on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Her posts showcase a lavish lifestyle, featuring fashion shoots, holiday escapades, and endorsements from prominent brands such as Intimissimi and Kérastase.
Despite being recognized for her individual achievements, Margarida’s relationship with Lando Norris has thrust her further into the public eye. The couple’s romance was officially revealed during the Hungarian Grand Prix in August 2025, sparking discussions among fans and fellow drivers. Margarida’s presence at races has not gone unnoticed, with some, like former McLaren teammate Carlos Sainz, expressing concerns about the focus shifting away from on-track action to personal relationships.
In a recent interview, Margarida emphasized that her role is solely to support her partner in his racing endeavors, downplaying her own involvement in Formula 1. Meanwhile, Lando described Margarida as someone with whom he can be himself and praised her grounded nature amidst their hectic lives. As Lando vies for his first F1 World Drivers’ Championship at the upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Margarida remains a steadfast source of support amid the challenges and triumphs of the season. Despite the criticisms and controversies, the couple stands strong as a prominent duo in the F1 paddock.
