F1 ace Lando Norris splits from model girlfriend Margarida Corceiro after a year of dating before Dutch GP triumph
FORMULA One driver Lando Norris has split from his model girlfriend Margarida Corceiro.
The pair had been linked for the past year, with the British racing ace seen spending time with the Portuguese model on a number of occasions.
However pals said the pair are no longer dating, with Lando, 24, admitting over the weekend: “I don’t have a girlfriend.”
A source said: “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.”
Maclaren driver Lando, who won the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday, and Margarida were first spotted together in May last year.
She was pictured riding in the back of his Fiat 500 Jolly.
As well as enjoying dates in Monaco, where they attended the Monte Carlo Tennis Masters final in April, before she was seen supporting him at the Miami Grand Prix.
Margarida started dating Lando following her split from footballer Joao Felix last year.
Bristol born Lando stayed tight lipped about their relationship but in May said he had “many girlfriends” when asked whether he was dating her.
Prior to dating Margarida, Lando was in a relationship with another Portuguese model Luisinha Oliveira.
The pair were together for a year before breaking up in late 2022.
Lando confirmed their split and said in a post on Instagram: “After time and consideration, Luisa and myself have mutually decided to end our romantic relationship but remain good friends.
“I wish her the world and have so much respect for her and all she does as such an amazing and strong woman with nothing but kindness.”
Lando triumphed over his rivals at the Dutch Grand Prix, beating Max Verstappen into second place.
Despite his dominance in the race, Lando said he had a long way to go to win the title over the remaining ten races.
He said: “I’ve been fighting for the championship since the first race of the year.
“There’s no sudden decision, now I need to do better.
“I’ve been working hard the whole year and I’m still 70 points behind Max. So it’s pretty stupid to think of anything at the minute.
“I just take one race at a time and just keep doing what I’m doing now because there’s no point to think ahead and think of the rest.”
