Lando Norris shared a kiss and an embrace with model girlfriend Margarida Corceiro after winning the Hungarian Grand Prix. The British racer held off team-mate Oscar Piastri to notch his fifth victory of the 2025 campaign. Until recently, Norris had kept his relationship with Corceiro under wraps.
The duo were spotted hanging out around Monaco during 2024, but reportedly split in August last year. Now, however, they are back together and were pictured together as an official couple for the first time at the Hungarian GP. On Saturday, she walked into the paddock with the McLaren racer, and after he fended off a charging Piastri to win at the Hungaroring on Sunday, the couple enjoyed a heartwarming moment in the paddock.
Norris' latest triumph means that the gap to Piastri in the Drivers' Championship standings has closed to just nine points. Crucially, the Brit has now won three of the last four Grands Prix, meaning he has momentum on his side heading into the summer break.
"I'm dead," Norris declared to James Hinchcliffe in the post-race interviews. "I'm dead. It was tough. We weren't really planning on the one-stop, but after the first lap, it was kind of our only option to get back into things. [In] the final stint with Oscar catching, I was pushing flat out.
"[It was] rewarding even more because of that. The perfect result today." Asked about the one-stop strategy, he continued: "I didn't think it would get us the win, I thought it would get us maybe into second.

"I knew if I had clean air and could push, I could maybe make things work, and that's what we did. It always is a bit of a gamble, these kinds of things. It also requires no mistakes, good laps, good strategy, and that's what we had today."
While Norris was delighted, Piastri was left rueing a missed opportunity. The Australian had the choice of strategies as the lead driver, but picked a fight with Charles Leclerc, thinking his team-mate wasn't a serious threat for victory. This ultimately backfired as the Bristol-born racer executed a perfect one-stop strategy.
"Yes and no... at that point, he didn't have much to lose, so it wasn't a huge surprise," Piastri explained, assessing his team-mate's strategy choice. "I don't know if trying to undercut Leclerc was the right call in the end. We can go through it after."
