As Lando Norris approaches a potential victory in the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship this weekend, attention is not solely on the McLaren star, but also on his girlfriend, Margarida Corceiro.
Margarida, known as Magui, hails from Santarém, Portugal, born on October 26, 2002. Initially recognized for her roles in Portuguese TV dramas and participation in the local version of Dancing with the Stars in 2020, she has since diversified her career into modeling, acting, and influencer activities.
With a substantial social media following, including over 2.2 million Instagram followers and 800,000 TikTok fans, Margarida has become a prominent figure in Portugal. She co-founded the sustainable swimwear brand MISSUS and has collaborated with renowned brands like Intimissimi, Alo Yoga, and Kérastase.
While Lando and Margarida’s relationship was publicly confirmed during the recent Hungarian Grand Prix, their connection had been speculated since they were first seen together in May 2023. Margarida’s presence at races has stirred some controversy, with McLaren ex-teammate Carlos Sainz criticizing the focus on partners rather than on-track action in TV broadcasts.
Despite the attention, Margarida maintains that her role is solely to support Lando, emphasizing her lack of technical knowledge about Formula 1. The couple’s relationship has flourished amidst Lando’s impressive racing season, where he is on the verge of securing his first F1 World Drivers’ Championship at the upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Margarida’s unwavering support amid the season’s challenges indicates that they are a force to be reckoned with in the F1 paddock.
