Reports from several news outlets suggest that Formula One driver Lando Norris has ended his relationship with Portuguese model Margarida "Magui" Corceiro. The news surfaced following a video from pre-season testing where Norris appeared to discuss his relationship status with another driver. This change comes as Norris focuses on his professional racing goals for the upcoming season.
"I'm a single man."— Lando Norris, reportedly speaking to Carlos Sainz Jr. in leaked footage.
Timeline of Reported Events
The status of the relationship between Norris and Corceiro has been a subject of public record since 2023. Recent reports provide two different timeframes for their separation:
August 2024: Reports emerged that the pair had "drifted apart." During an event before the Dutch Grand Prix, Norris told a crowd he did not have a girlfriend when asked about getting a dog.
February 2026: New footage from pre-season testing in Bahrain shows Norris telling fellow driver Carlos Sainz Jr. that he is "a single man."
Relationship History: The pair were first seen together in May 2023. Corceiro previously dated football player Joao Felix.
The core evidence for the split rests on a video recorded during testing and public comments made by Norris himself.
Reported Evidence
Evidence of the split comes from two main sources: recorded interactions and public statements.
| Type of Evidence | Details | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Leaked Video | Norris tells Carlos Sainz Jr. he is single. | Recorded during testing in Bahrain. |

| Third-Party Claims | Anonymous sources. | Sources told The Sun the relationship "cooled off." |
Investigating the Relationship Status
1. The Recorded Conversation in Bahrain
During the most recent testing sessions, a video shared on social media captured a private chat between Norris and Sainz.

2. Previous Patterns and Public Comments
This is not the first time Norris has stated he is single. In August 2024, he made a clear statement to a large crowd. When asked if he would get a dog, he replied that he would need a girlfriend first and "I don't have one." These comments align with reports that the couple has had an "on and off" relationship since they were first spotted together in Monaco.
3. Professional Focus and Personal Life
Reports suggest that Norris is prioritizing his career. After winning races, he has often spoken about the "long way to go" to win a championship. Sources close to the driver claim he wants to be "free and single" to focus entirely on the sport.

Is the "on and off" nature of the relationship a result of the busy F1 travel schedule?
