Lando Norris break up from mannequin girlfriend ‘positively true’: F1 insider confirms world champion is now single after his dialog about Magui Corceiro leaked
Formula One world champion Lando Norris‘s split from girlfriend Magui Corceiro has been confirmed by a paddock insider.
The British driver, 26, had been dating the Portuguese supermodel on-and-off for years, and she played a central role in his celebrations after clinching the world championship in Abu Dhabi two months ago.
However, on Thursday a video clip from testing in Bahrain set tongues wagging when Norris was seemingly overheard telling F1 rival Carlos Sainz that he is ‘a single man’.
In a TikTok clip, Sainz can be heard asking Norris: ‘Are you and Magui good?’
Norris appears to respond ‘no’, adding he is ‘a single man’, though the quality of the audio had led to uncertainty as to what the Briton actually said.
But now the split has been confirmed by F1 insider Kym Illman, in a video posted to Instagram.
A Formula One insider has confirmed that Lando Norris has split with Magui Corceiro
The correspondent told his audience of 881,000 followers that rumours of a split between the pair are ‘definitely true’.
In a round-up of the day’s action in Bahrain, he said: ‘Lando Norris was in fine form this morning, looking good.
‘You may read this tomorrow… but he has broken up with his girlfriend Magui. You might have already heard rumours but it is definitely true.’
Norris and Corceiro, who used to go out with footballer Joao Felix, broke up in 2024 before getting back together last year but it seems they have called it quits again.
According to the Sun: ‘There have been tell-tale signs for a while now.
‘They drifted apart after his win last season. The biggest hint came in Bahrain as he and his team continued testing ahead of the new season.
‘Lando held a party to thank those who have been with him from the start and who he credits with helping him lift the title.
‘Anyone who was anyone posed for a group picture. The only one who wasn’t there was girlfriend Magui. It naturally sparked rumours.’
Only last December, Corceiro broke down in tears after watching Norris triumph to take the world championship.
In the week that followed, the model and actress gave an interview with TV Guia, saying: ‘There’s no rule for going public,’ she said. ‘I thought it (the kiss in Abu Dhabi) made sense. I’m very happy, he’s very happy, and that’s what matters.
‘At that moment I forgot the cameras were there. It was such an important moment that I didn’t even remember that.’
Corceiro was in attendance for the post-victory celebrations along with his parents Adam and Cisca, his brother Oliver and the McLaren team.
It’s understood the group partied through the night until 6am on Monday morning, racking up a bill worth around £100,000 across the hotel bars they visited.
Corceiro hails from Santarem in Portugal and has amassed a colossal social media following including 800,000 fans on TikTok.
As an actress, she has appeared in Portuguese television dramas and is regularly featured in campaigns, including stints for Intimissimi and Alo Yoga.
Corceiro was a contestant in the country’s version of Dancing with the Stars back in 2020.

She also co-founded the eco-conscious swimwear brand Missus and has graced the pages of Vogue Portugal.
It was on his own appearance in Vogue that Norris first gushed about Corceiro.
‘We met a few years ago, but we were never really together,’ he said. ‘Until more recently.’
When asked what was ‘special’ about her, he replied: ‘Everything. She’s someone I can very much be myself with. Very down to earth and she lives quite a crazy life as well. It’s nice when we can both just [rent] a boat for the day or go home together and chill.’
‘The biggest thing I’m trying to change is to get her into golf. She hates golf.’
But the relationship appears to have come to an end, though neither party have yet confirmed the split on their official channels.
