The Messy Truth About Lando Norris' Dating Life (And Why We're All Obsessed)

By Lewis Barnett 4 August, 2025 5 mins read 211 Views

Look, I'll be honest - I've been following F1 drama longer than I care to admit, and Lando Norris just gave us the kind of victory kiss that had my Twitter timeline absolutely losing its mind.

Hear the Summary

That Hungarian GP Kiss Though...

Sunday's win was already emotional enough. Then boom - there's Margarida Corceiro planting one on him right there in front of everyone. My friend Sarah texted me immediately: "Are they back together or what??"

Apparently, yes. They are.

The 22-year-old Portuguese model was glued to his side all weekend in Budapest, and honestly? Good for them. The whole paddock knew something was brewing when she showed up at Monaco back in May (where he also won, coincidentally). Sometimes the universe just aligns like that.

The Joao Felix Connection Nobody Talks About

Here's where it gets messy. Margarida didn't just appear out of nowhere - she was with Chelsea's Joao Felix for four years before Lando entered the picture in 2023. Four years! That's like... a lifetime in footballer relationships.

The timing was brutal too. Felix's loan at Stamford Bridge ended, their relationship imploded, and suddenly she's in the McLaren garage. The internet had opinions, obviously.

Their first run lasted about a year before fizzling out in 2024. Then Lando spent most of last year insisting he was single, which led to that absolutely legendary lie detector moment.

Multiple Girlfriends? The Plot Thickens

God, that interview still makes me cringe-laugh.

Host: "Do you have a girlfriend?" Lando: "No." (Machine says: TRUE) Host: "Do you have many girlfriends?" Lando: *nervous chuckle* "Yes." (Machine says: TRUE)

The audacity! The man really said that with his whole chest and the polygraph backed him up. I respect the honesty, even if it probably gave his PR team heart palpitations.

Before Margarida: The Luisinha Era

Before all this drama, there was Luisinha Oliveira. Portuguese model, social media influencer, and unfortunately the target of some truly disgusting fan behavior from 2021 to 2022.

I remember when Lando spoke out about the hate pages dedicated to her - death threats, constant harassment, the works. It was genuinely horrific and probably contributed to why their relationship didn't survive. Dating someone in teh public eye is hard enough without psychotic fans making your life hell.

Poor Luisinha. She seemed lovely and didn't deserve any of that nonsense.

What's Different This Time?

Margarida's got 2.1 million Instagram followers and her own acting career, so she's not exactly new to public attention. Maybe that helps? She's also been through the footballer-dating circus with Felix, so she knows what she's signing up for.

Plus, Lando's having his best F1 season yet. Winning races, fighting for championships, looking genuinely happy... timing matters in relationships, and this feels different from their first attempt.

Will it last? Who knows. But that victory kiss in Hungary looked pretty real to me, adn sometimes that's all you need to start over.
