Lando Norris lifts lid on relationship with supermodel and reveals one thing she 'hates'

Lando Norris has opened up about his relationship with supermodel Margarida Corceiro. The couple were first spotted together in 2023 and, after splitting and then reuniting, are now officially dating. Corceiro was pictured alongside Norris at the 2023 Monte-Carlo Masters, and snaps surfaced of the McLaren Formula One star driving the model around Monaco in his classic Fiat Jolly. However, in 2024, they reportedly split with a source telling The Sun that "it wasn't working out, so they cooled off".

Ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix this year, though, Corceiro was spotted in the team garage standing alongside Norris' family, sparking rumours of a rekindling. More fuel was added to the fire when eagle-eyed fans noticed Norris' voice in the background of the model's Instagram stories during a Portuguese vacation.

Norris made the rumours official when he kissed Corceiro after winning the Hungarian Grand Prix before the summer break, and she has been a regular in the paddock since. Speaking to Vogue ahead of Sunday's race in Azerbaijan, the 25-year-old opened up about the relationship for the first time.

"We met a few years ago, but we were never really together, until more recently," he confessed. Asked what he considers 'special' about his partner, he replied: "Everything.

"She's someone I can very much be myself with. Very down to earth, and she lives quite a crazy life as well. It's nice when we can both just [rent] a boat for the day or go home together and chill."

The nine-time Grand Prix winner has been making compromises, too. He admitted to spending 'three nights' watching The Summer I Turned Pretty. Norris is also trying, and failing, to get Corceiro into his own hobbies. "The biggest thing I'm trying to change is to get her into golf," he revealed. "She hates golf."

Like Norris, Corceiro is familiar with the spotlight that comes with public life. The 22-year-old has amassed an Instagram following of over two million, with an additional 800,000 followers on her TikTok account.

Asked if her background has made it easier to deal with the public intrigue surrounding their relationship, Norris continued: "I don't think anyone can look at a bad comment from someone and move on like nothing's ever happened. You don't want to see bad things written about anyone. But she's quite wise to all of it."
