Lando Norris fuels romance rumours as McLaren ace makes unexpected appearance

Lando Norris made an unexpected appearance behind the camera ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix, commentating on surfing clips of rumoured girlfriend Margarida Corceiro at the beach. The 25-year-old was unwinding at the beach after reeling off back-to-back wins at the Austrian Grand Prix and British Grand Prix. He has now collected four race victories in 2025, and finds himself only eight points behind team-mate and championship leader, Oscar Piastri.

With two weeks to rest and recuperate after a demanding stretch of races, Norris headed to the beach with Corceiro, with whom he has experienced an on-and-off romantic connection. The pair were first seen together in 2023 and were spotted at the Monte-Carlo Masters final, as well as driving around the streets of Monaco in the Brit's classic Fiat Jolly.

However, in August 2024, a report from The Sun explained that the couple had gone their separate ways, with a source telling the news outlet: "Lando and Margarida had a fun time together and hung out a lot. But it wasn't working out, so they cooled off. He's free and single and just wants to focus on his sport."

That said, reports of a rekindling emerged at the Monaco Grand Prix after Corceiro was spotted in the team garage, standing with Norris' family. The 22-year-old supermodel, who previously dated Chelsea forward Joao Felix, watched on as the McLaren star scored pole position in the nation in which he resides.

Norris added further fuel to the rekindling rumours after the British GP when he was heard commentating over Corceiro's surfing clips on her Instagram story. "Vamos Magui," he exclaimed, before watching on as she came off the board "Oh no, crash! Crash! Double!"

However, eagle-eyed fans noted that Norris did not feature in a series of photos from the Portuguese getaway posted to Corceiro's Instagram account. If they are back together, supporters of the couple can expect the relationship to remain fairly private.

Norris will soon have to turn his attention back to on-track matters. Next weekend, the Belgian Grand Prix kicks off the final stretch until the summer break, and with momentum on his side, the 25-year-old will hope to reel in team-mate Piastri and draw even in the title fight.

However, McLaren's duo could have unwanted visitors in the fight for victory. Ferrari showed an impressive step forward at Silverstone, and while their pace didn't lead to strong results, team principal Andrea Stella made it clear that the Scuderia could be a threat to Norris and Piastri for the remainder of the year.
