As Lando Norris approaches a potential victory in the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship, all eyes are not only on the McLaren star but also on his girlfriend, Margarida Corceiro. Margarida, a Portuguese model and actress who has garnered fame both on and off the track, has drawn attention for her glamorous lifestyle and high-profile appearances, sparking some controversy among F1 competitors.
The couple’s public display of affection after Lando’s triumph in Budapest earlier this year thrust them into the spotlight, with fans and rivals alike voicing their opinions on the matter. Margarida, also known as Magui, rose to prominence as a young actress in Portuguese television dramas and as a participant in the local version of Dancing with the Stars in 2020 before expanding her career to include modeling, acting, and influencing. With a substantial following on Instagram and TikTok, Margarida has become a well-known figure in Portugal.
Through her social media presence, Margarida showcases a lifestyle filled with luxury, featuring fashion shoots, vacation snapshots on yachts, artistic selfies, and glimpses into her daily activities. Beyond her relationship with Lando, Margarida is recognized for her work as the co-founder of the eco-friendly swimwear brand MISSUS and her collaborations with major brands like Intimissimi, Alo Yoga, and Kérastase. Her influence extends to being named the most influential person on Instagram in Portugal by Forbes Portugal.
Despite Lando’s past remarks about his relationship status, insiders were aware of his connection with Margarida, which became public during the Hungarian Grand Prix in August 2025. Since then, Margarida has been a constant presence at races, offering support from the garage’s front row and appearing in media coverage that has drawn attention.
Margarida’s visibility in the F1 paddock has stirred debate among drivers, with former McLaren teammate Carlos Sainz criticizing the focus on partners rather than on-track action during TV broadcasts. While Margarida maintains that her role is solely to support Lando and expresses her lack of technical knowledge about Formula 1, her presence continues to attract attention.
As Lando aims for his first F1 World Drivers’ Championship at the upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Margarida remains a steadfast source of support amidst the season’s ups and downs. Despite criticisms, the couple’s presence in the F1 paddock signals a new dynamic duo that appears poised to leave a lasting impression.
