There is a thin air of mystery surrounding Lando Norris‘ relationship status. Is he single as he claims to be one? Or, is romance ‘secretly’ brewing in his life? Well, the social media sleuths strongly believe that the Portuguese actress-model Margarida Corceiro, aka, Magui is the McLaren star’s lady love. However, their strange little acts of knowing and not knowing each other have been pretty confusing at the same time.
Right after clinching the iconic win at the 2024 Dutch GP on Sunday, Norris took to his social media. But he did not share any long messages or pictures, posting just a selfie with his new sweetheart- the winner’s trophy. What caught the attention of his fans was an increase in his following count; and as always, the ‘detectives’ got into action and found that the Brit started following Magui. However, the model didn’t reciprocate the same.
Meanwhile, Magui Corceiro is spending the last bits of summer in Africa. The Portuguese diva shared a photo on her Instagram handle. It remains unclear, exactly where in the vast country she’s in. Corceiro’s and Lando’s fans love the picture highlighting her prominent green eyes and blonde curls. Within moments, the picture claimed thousands of likes and comments, (almost) all of them praising her beauty.

But of course, that’s not what the fans noticed first. They wanted to see if Lando Norris had dropped a like or comment. And boom! The F1 driver was lurking in the Likes. Surprisingly, he was one of the first people to hit the heart sign. Could this be one of those moments where Lando gets caught red-handed? Maybe, yes.
Fans need Lando Norris to “calm down” after his social media move sparks buzz
Currently, Lando Norris is the fastest man on the F1 grid. And it looks like the 24-year-old has taken his speed into Instagram as well. Norris is a social media star, he knows his way around this arena. However, there is no way to put on Harry Potter’s ‘Cloak of Invisibility’ in the digital world. And just when, the McLaren star openly claimed his singlehood, his like on Margarida Corceiro’s latest post has sparked a new buzz. Fans recreated the Max Verstappen-Kelly Piquet meme, teasing Lando Norris for liking Magui’s post. They had done the same when Verstappen stayed silent on his girlfriend’s photo. Now, Norris and Magui are facing similar fan banter.
Once one fan said: “mate calm down 💀” LN4 seems to have taken Lightning McQueen’s “I’m Speed” dialogue a bit too seriously this time. And honestly, fans truly wait for such things to happen, to solidify their claims. Norris who has been spotted in a party in Ibiza with Magui, has continuously denied any rumors and speculations over his links with the model. However, such speedy reactions on social media are going to feed the fans with what they want- gossip.
Meanwhile, another user stated: “Lando’s early LOLL.” Of course, he’s early to his rumored girlfriend’s post. Given the relationship assumptions in the F1 community, it would not have been a surprise if Lando hadn’t denied the questions in public. At the same time, Norris was spotted with the Portuguese model at a tennis event in Monaco earlier this year. The ‘couple’ watched Stefano Tsitsipas win the Monte Carlos Masters final.

Another fan believes, the McLaren star is with Magui in Africa and wrote: “There definitely together Lando and Magui are together.” Maybe, maybe not, who knows? Social media sleuths must take up the responsibility to locate Norris, imagine him leaving for Africa right before Monza! With the Italian GP around the corner, it would be too much of a stretch to assume Lando is traveling the world with his girlfriends. But, fans being fans, they are free to speculate anything at this point.
At the same time, one commenter has expressed a little skepticism: “Early? That’s a bad sign…” This could mean, it’s a bad sign for Lando Norris’s open claims of not being in a relationship. But behind the scenes, the F1 star was having dinner with his rumored sweetheart in Monaco earlier in 2024. However, some practical thinkers also believe, the entire scenario could be platonic. Such, thinkers are much less compared to the ones who are shipping this adorable duo.

Another user commented: “Just make it official already??? 😭😭😭 you two are just making a circus.” Looks like this user is giving up on the little games the two celebrities love to play. Yes, it could be tiring for fans to analyze what’s going on, but well, it’s their lives to understand. Moreover, it seems like Norris wants to be careful to not mess things up like last time. His past experiences with his ex, Luisinha Oliveira are nothing but a heartbreaking chapter for 3:00 am conversations.
Lando Norris might have to come up with a new plan to calm down the curious fans. Meanwhile, the Italian GP follows behind. McLaren will want to continue their performance streak, with Norris as their foreman. Let’s see if he’s as fast as his social media presence in Monza as well.
