As Lando Norris nears a potential victory in the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship this weekend, attention is not solely on the McLaren driver. His girlfriend, Margarida Corceiro, a Portuguese model and actress who has garnered fame off the track, is also capturing the spotlight.
Known as Magui, Margarida rose to fame through her roles in Portuguese television dramas and her participation in the local edition of Dancing with the Stars in 2020. With a career spanning modeling, acting, and influencer work, she has amassed a substantial following on Instagram and TikTok, making her one of Portugal’s recognizable personalities.
Margarida, co-founder of the eco-conscious swimwear brand MISSUS, has collaborated with major brands like Intimissimi, Alo Yoga, and Kérastase, solidifying her own identity beyond being an F1 driver’s partner. Forbes Portugal even recognized her as the most influential person on Instagram in Portugal.
Her high-profile relationship with Lando became public during the Hungarian Grand Prix this August, where they were seen celebrating his victory. Margarida has since been a constant presence at races, offering support from the front row and attracting media attention.
While her visibility has sparked controversy among F1 rivals, Margarida maintains that her role is solely to support Lando, emphasizing her lack of technical knowledge about Formula 1. Despite criticisms from some quarters, the couple appears unfazed and united as Lando aims for his first F1 World Drivers’ Championship at the upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
