Norris has rekindled his relationship with Corceiro this season but has kept things low-key up until now, with her often walking into the paddock alone.
The couple arrived today just seconds apart from Oscar Piastri, who was holding hands with girlfriend Lily Zneimer.
Norris and Corceiro previously dated for a year from around May 2023.
She was first spotted back on the scene this year, supporting him from the McLaren garage at the Monaco Grand Prix at the end of May where he secured a glittering win.
Norris and Corceiro's first spell together came shortly after the model had just split from Portuguese footballer Joao Felix.
Their relationship split at the time when the Portuguese footballer's initial loan spell at Chelsea came to an end last year.
Norris and Corceiro were then seen at the Monte Carlo Masters final in April 2024, although there was no official confirmation of their relationship.
The romance was short-lived, though and in August 2024, Norris said he was single.

F1 fans floored by what Lando Norris wrote on champagne bottle after Hungarian GP win
Lando Norris also hid his trophy from danger when the champagne spraying began on the podium, having broken the one won by Max Verstappen at the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2023 Lando Norris was never going to make the same mistake twice. Having held off team-mate Oscar Piastri to win the Hungarian Grand Prix, there was only one thing on his mind from even before he went up the steps to the podium. These days, because of a sponsorship agreement, the winner of a race signs a bottle of champagne and writes a little message on it. Norris took the opportunity to have a little bit of fun, writing: "Don't break the trophy!" It was a message to himself, having got himself in some bother a couple of years ago. He finished second in the 2023 edition of the Budapest race, but was the centre of attention during the podium ceremony when he accidentally knocked over the trophy won by race victor Max Verstappen. And on Sunday, he made sure he was not going to repeat that error. After the national anthems were played and the trophies were handed out, Norris made a beeline for his porcelain prize and placed it at the side of the podium, before returning to spray some champagne. It did not go unnoticed by fans. "He moved it so far away!" wrote one on social media, while several others noted that he had stopped to also remove team-mate Piastri's trophy out of harm's way before slamming his bottle on the ground to get the fizz flowing. The unfortunate 2023 incident had been a complete accident and Verstappen took it well, laughing on the podium when he noticed what had happened. But still, Norris was apologetic – perhaps aware of how much work had gone into its creation. Trophies handed out at the Hungarian GP are traditionally made out of porcelain and are painstakingly hand-painted by specialist artists. They were created by manufacturer Herend, took around six months to make and cost around £35,000. "I do want to apologise for it, it was never my intention to do such a thing," Norris later said. "I know how much it means to the Hungarians and it is part of their culture and so forth. Of course, I want to enjoy my time but it was never my intention to do such a thing.

I do feel bad, if he did it to my trophy I would feel annoyed. I do apologise for it, to the people who put the time and effort into making it, I really did not mean for it to happen and I will be a lot more careful next time." And he lived up to his word on Sunday, going the extra mile to make sure there would be no more shattered porcelain littering the podium this time.

Lando Norris holds off Oscar Piastri in thrilling finale to Hungarian Grand Prix
Lando Norris held off a thrilling late charge from Oscar Piastri to win the Hungarian Grand Prix and reduce his F1 world championship rival's lead to nine points. Norris was running in fourth place but benefited from stopping for tyres one fewer time than his rivals to land his fifth victory of the season. The British driver took the chequered flag just six tenths ahead of Piastri, who went within centimetres of colliding with Norris on the last-but-one lap when he locked up his front-right tyre at the opening corner.'Remember how we go racing, Oscar,' came the warning from his race engineer, Tom Stallard. George Russell passed Charles Leclerc with eight laps to go to take the final spot on the podium. Pole-sitter Leclerc had to settle for fourth. Lewis Hamilton, who urged Ferrari to replace him after he qualified only 12th, finished in the same position, a lap down. Norris' win in the concluding round before the summer break – his third triumph from his last four appearances – reignites his bid to land a maiden world crown. But the Bristolian can count himself somewhat fortunate to be standing on the top step of the podium. Norris started third, and although he got away well from his marks, an attempt to pass Piastri on the inside of the opening corner backfired. Norris did not commit to the overtake and that left him in no-man's land, allowing Russell and then Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso to breeze through. On lap three, Norris fought his way clear of Alonso but was then tucked up behind Russell and making little progress. On Saturday, Hamilton described himself as 'absolutely useless' after he was knocked out of Q2 with Leclerc, in the other scarlet car, having taken the Scuderia's first pole of the year. By the end of the first lap, Hamilton dropped behind Carlos Sainz and Kimi Antonelli and was 14th. By eight laps, he was 20 seconds behind Leclerc, and at the end of lap 14, he trailed his team-mate by half a minute. Piastri was the first of the leaders to blink, stopping for hard tyres on lap 18. Ferrari, reacting to Piastri's stop, pulled in Leclerc on the next lap. TOP-10 - HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX On fresh tyres, Piastri had been quicker than the Ferrari, but Leclerc managed to stay ahead. Russell also stopped on lap 19 promoting Norris to the lead. Further back, and Max Verstappen, who had also taken on fresh tyres, was tucked up behind Hamilton, yet to stop, in a duel for 11th. Verstappen threw his Red Bull underneath Hamilton's Ferrari at Turn 4 on lap 29, with the seven-time world champion running off the road and losing the place to his old nemesis. The flashpoint will be investigated by the stewards after the race. Returning to the front, and McLaren were now considering a one-stop strategy for Norris. His race engineer, Will Joseph, was on the radio: 'Lando, 40 laps on the hard tyre, you up for it?' Norris replied: 'Yeah, why not?' On lap 31 of 70 he came in for his sole change of tyres before lighting up the timesheets with the fastest laps of the race so far. Norris then dropped two wheels through the gravel on the exit of the chicane, which irked Joseph. 'Lando, just keep the focus, we don't want these mistakes,' he said. Both Leclerc and Piastri were forced to stop again on laps 40 and 45, respectively. Norris now led Leclerc by seven seconds, with Piastri five seconds further back. But Piastri was on the move, swatting Leclerc aside on lap 51 and then setting about reducing Norris' nine-second advantage. With five laps to go, Piastri was just a second behind, and on the penultimate lap attempted a banzai move at the first corner but Norris remained ahead to land what could be a pivotal win in his championship charge. Alonso finished fifth, one place ahead of rookie Gabriel Bortoleto. Verstappen finished ninth, with Hamilton fighting his way past Pierre Gasly and then Sainz but finished outside of the points on a desperate weekend for the 40-year-old. 'I am dead, I am dead,' Norris said. 'We were not planning on the one stop, but it was our only chance after the first lap. I have pushed hard, and my voice has gone a little bit but it was the perfect result today. 'We are so close in the championship, it is hard to say if the momentum is on either side, but it is fun racing against Oscar, and I just about held on so I look forward to plenty more of these.' Piastri said: 'I pushed as hard as I could. After I saw Lando take on the one stop, I knew I would have to overtake on track and that is easier said than done.'

The strategy that helped Lando Norris to Hungarian Grand Prix victory
Lando Norris has secured victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix, successfully fending off a thrilling late charge from Oscar Piastri. Norris's win, his fifth of the season, significantly reduces Piastri's lead in the world championship to just nine points. The British driver was originally in fourth but benefited from a one-stop tyre strategy, which allowed him to gain an advantage over his rivals. George Russell claimed the final podium spot by overtaking pole-sitter Charles Leclerc with eight laps remaining, while Lewis Hamilton finished 12th. The race culminated in a near collision between Norris and Piastri on the penultimate lap.
