As the Hungarian Grand Prix approaches, McLaren driver Lando Norris appears to have made his relationship with Portuguese actress-model Margarida Corceiro public, amidst swirling rumors about their romance. Their joint appearance at the Hungaroring on Saturday, ahead of Norris’s impressive third-place qualification run, marks a significant confirmation of their rekindled connection.
Norris, 25, and Corceiro, 22, have long been subjects of interest for fans, with their relationship status fluctuating between on-again and off-again. Speculation surrounding their romance intensified late last year due to several sightings together, including at the Monte Carlo Masters in April 2024, suggesting that they were more than just friends.
A notable moment came during the recent Monaco Grand Prix when Corceiro was seen cheering for Norris alongside his mother—an indication that their relationship was warming up again. This was quite a shift from last August when Norris had stated he was single during the Dutch Grand Prix, expressing in a light-hearted manner, “I don’t have time for a dog. If I do, I need a girlfriend, I don’t have one.”
Corceiro, a thriving social media influencer with over 2.1 million followers on Instagram and 817,000 on TikTok, has established herself in the entertainment industry, featuring in Portuguese television dramas and high-profile fashion campaigns. Criticism about her career has also emerged, particularly regarding claims that her following contributed to her success. In addition to her acting, she co-founded an eco-conscious swimwear brand and gained visibility from participating in Portugal’s version of Dancing with the Stars.
Prior to her relationship with Norris, Corceiro was involved with former football star Joao Felix. Their split in 2023 was publicly announced via social media. Rumors swirled about another relationship when Corceiro was linked to defender Pedro Porro, but both parties denied any wrongdoing.
As Norris and Corceiro seem to have smoothed over past differences, their public appearances indicate a strong and settled partnership. On the professional front, Norris is having a spectacular 2025 season, currently holding second place in the Drivers’ Championship just 16 points behind his teammate Oscar Piastri. Together, they are leading McLaren to a dominantly advantageous position in the Constructors’ Championship, aiming for back-to-back titles.
With their renewed romance providing positive energy off the track, fans of Norris and McLaren have much to look forward to during this exciting season of Formula 1 racing.
