Margarida Corceiro: Lando Norris now speaks for the first time about his new love

(Motorsport-Total.com) - In Formula 1, Lando Norris continues to fight for the coveted world championship title, but the 25-year-old Briton has already celebrated a personal success in love: Since spring 2025, the McLaren driver has been together with the Portuguese actress, top model and influencer Margarida Corceiro.

Rumors of a relationship between the two began circulating several years ago, after they were spotted together in public several times and attended a tennis tournament in Monaco. The liaison reportedly ended for the time being in August 2024.

But this year saw a surprising comeback, when Norris and Corceiro made their romance official at the Hungarian Grand Prix. "We met a few years ago, but we were never really together until recently," Norris revealed in a recent interview withVogue .

What does Norris appreciate most about his 22-year-old girlfriend? "Everything," grins the Brit. "She's someone I can be completely myself with. Very down-to-earth, and she also leads a pretty crazy life. It's nice when the two of us can just rent a boat for the day or go home together and relax."

Norris wants to inspire his girlfriend to play golf

There's still one small snag, however: "The biggest thing I'm trying to change is getting her excited about golf," reveals the McLaren star. "She hates golf." Unlike world champion Max Verstappen, who even raced around the course in a golf cart with his girlfriend Kelly Piquet during the summer break, golf is therefore out of the question as a shared pastime.

However, they have something else in common in the public spotlight: Both regularly have to deal with insults and negative comments. "I don't think you can just take a bad comment and ignore it," says Norris.

"You don't want someone to be written about negatively. But she's certainly aware of that." With more than two million followers, Margarida Corceiro is one of the most well-known influencers, while Lando Norris even took a social media break a few weeks ago .

But the McLaren star apparently can't let go completely. "It affects me," he admits, though he adds: "Much less than before. I pay much less attention to it now." Between the Formula 1 World Championship battle and his new girlfriend, Margarida Corceiro, the Briton hardly has any time left anyway...
