Lando Norris is approaching a potential victory in the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship this weekend, drawing attention not only to his racing skills but also to his girlfriend, Margarida Corceiro. Margarida, a Portuguese model and actress, has garnered fame outside the racing world with her glamorous lifestyle and public appearances, sparking some controversy among F1 competitors.
Known as Magui, Margarida gained initial fame as a teenage actress in Portuguese television shows and as a participant in the local version of Dancing with the Stars in 2020. Transitioning into modeling, acting, and influencer roles, she has built a significant online following, making her one of Portugal’s well-known personalities.
Through her social media presence, Margarida showcases a luxurious life filled with fashion shoots, holiday escapades on yachts, and everyday glimpses into her upscale lifestyle. Beyond being recognized as an F1 driver’s partner, she has co-founded an eco-conscious swimwear brand and collaborated with renowned brands, solidifying her influence in the industry.
While rumors of their relationship had circulated for some time, Lando and Margarida officially confirmed their status during the Hungarian Grand Prix in August 2025. Since then, Margarida has been a constant presence at races, supporting Lando from the front row of the garage, attracting attention from fans and critics alike.
However, Margarida’s visibility has not been without criticism, as former McLaren teammate Carlos Sainz expressed concerns about the TV coverage focusing more on drivers’ partners than on the racing action itself. Despite the attention, Margarida maintains that her primary role is to support her partner, emphasizing her lack of technical knowledge about Formula 1.
As Lando aims for his first F1 World Drivers’ Championship, with only the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix remaining, Margarida continues to stand by his side amid the highs and lows of the season. The couple’s presence in the F1 paddock signifies a new power duo, poised to navigate the challenges and triumphs of the racing world together.
