As Lando Norris nears a potential victory in the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship, all eyes are not only on the McLaren star but also on his partner, Margarida Corceiro. Margarida, a former Portuguese model and actress who has transitioned into an F1 paddock muse, has garnered significant attention for her glamorous lifestyle and high-profile appearances, causing a stir among F1 competitors.
Following a public display of affection after Lando’s win in Budapest earlier this year, the media spotlight has intensified on the couple, leading to a flurry of opinions from fans and rivals alike.
Margarida, also known as Magui, rose to fame as a teen actress in Portuguese television dramas and later as a participant in the local version of Dancing with the Stars in 2020. With a career spanning modeling, acting, and influencing, she has amassed a substantial following on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, solidifying her status as one of Portugal’s most recognizable personalities.
Known for her lavish lifestyle showcased through her social media content, Margarida is not just the girlfriend of an F1 driver but also the co-founder of the eco-conscious swimwear brand MISSUS. Collaborating with renowned brands like Intimissimi, Alo Yoga, and Kérastase, she has established herself as a prominent figure beyond her relationship with Lando, even earning recognition as the most influential Instagram personality in Portugal by Forbes.
While speculations about their relationship 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, showing unwavering support from the front row of the garage, capturing attention from both fans and critics.
Despite criticisms from some F1 figures, including Carlos Sainz, who expressed discontent with the focus on partners rather than on-track action in TV broadcasts, Margarida maintains that her role is solely to support her partner, emphasizing her lack of technical knowledge about Formula 1.
Describing Margarida as someone he can be himself with, Lando highlighted her down-to-earth nature and the shared adventurous lifestyle they lead. As Lando aims for his first F1 World Drivers’ Championship at the upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Margarida continues to stand by his side, embodying a new power couple in the F1 paddock amidst the season’s triumphs and challenges.
