Margarida Corceiro turned 24 on Monday and marked it with a dinner in Miami. Among the notifications that lit up her birthday feed was a familiar name: Lando Norris.

The McLaren driver, who split from the Portuguese model and actress earlier this year, tapped a like on one of her birthday posts before removing it. Portuguese tabloid Correio da Manhã put it bluntly: he placed the like, then regretted it, and took it back.

By then it was too late. Screenshots were already doing the rounds.

“He wants her back”

The theories arrived within minutes. One fan told F1Chronicle’s roundup of the online reaction that “he wants her back”; another joked that he was angling for a replay.

“I think he is just happy for her, don’t need to speculate so much guys,” one fan wrote, in comments collected by F1Chronicle.

From May 2023 to a Bahrain TikTok

Norris and Corceiro were first linked in May 2023, with the relationship developing quietly across the following year. They parted ways around August 2024 before reconciling by May 2025, when Corceiro was back trackside at the Monaco Grand Prix.

She was in Abu Dhabi in December 2025 to watch Norris seal his maiden Formula 1 world championship.

Then came February 2026. During pre-season testing in Bahrain, Williams driver Carlos Sainz Jr. put the question directly to Norris on camera: “Are you and Magui good?” Norris replied “No” and said he was a “single man”. The clip, filmed for TikTok, ended the on-off cycle for public consumption.
