At the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix paddock, Lando Norris‘ girlfriend, Margarida Corceiro, attracted significant attention for her glamorous arrival. The Portuguese actress and model, well-known for her fashion work, was seen supporting Norris throughout the race weekend, reinforcing her presence in the F1 community.
Margarida Corceiro, who boasts over 2 million Instagram followers, has built a successful career as both an actress and model. She represents major brands such as Intimissimi and Alo Yoga, and her recent feature in Vogue Portugal highlights her rising profile in the fashion industry. Her attendance at the Hungarian GP marked another notable appearance in the F1 paddock, joining other drivers‘ partners who often accompany them to race events.
It is common for Formula 1 drivers to be accompanied by their significant others during race weekends. Alongside Margarida’s presence with Lando Norris, other prominent drivers like Carlos Sainz, George Russell, and Charles Leclerc have also brought their partners into the paddock to show support during key races.
Kym Illman, a respected F1 photographer who captured Margarida’s striking look, posted her photo on Instagram with the caption:

Margarida Corceiro and Lando Norris, who initially dated between May 2023 and late 2024, have reconciled and resumed their relationship. She has been visible at several race weekends this season, including the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix and the Spanish Grand Prix, showing consistent support for Norris on and off the track.
This ongoing presence reached a new peak during the Hungarian Grand Prix, where Margarida was seen in the McLaren garage from the start of Free Practice 1, further cementing her role as part of Norris’ support system amid a tense and closely fought championship season.
Analyzing Lando Norris’ performance at Spa-Francorchamps amid tight championship battle
While Margarida Corceiro’s appearance brought a splash of glamour to the paddock, Lando Norris faced a challenging weekend at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. Despite beginning the race from pole position, Norris was quickly overtaken by his McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri, on the opening lap, a setback in his quest to close the points gap in the championship.
Reflecting on his performance in an interview with the BBC, Norris insisted he did not perform poorly, citing technical factors that affected his race pace and grip:
“I don’t feel like I did a bad job. I didn’t have the best run but at the same time we had some, not problems, some incorrect settings with the battery. Which meant he had a slight advantage of battery compared to me, which certainly didn’t help. But I also didn’t do the best (first) two corners. Whether that would have made a difference or not, hard to say. With the issue, he probably would have passed me no matter what. So yeah, a tougher one to take from that perspective.”

At this stage of the 2025 season, now 13 rounds in, Norris holds second place in the drivers’ standings with 250 points, just behind Piastri’s lead of 260. This narrow points margin generates a high level of tension as both teammates continue their intense rivalry on the track.
Margarida Corceiro’s recurring appearances alongside Lando Norris during European Grand Prix weekends highlight their growing visibility within the F1 community amid these competitive times. As the season progresses, her ongoing support is likely to play a key role in Norris’ motivation while fans watch closely to see how the championship battle unfolds in upcoming races.
