Lando Norris 'rekindles' romance with Portuguese star Margarida Corceiro
McLaren F1 driver Lando Norris has seemingly rekindled his romance with Portuguese model and actor Margarida Corceiro, who was spotted cheering him on during Saturday's Monaco Grand Prix qualifying race. The British motorsports racing driver, 25, and Corceiro, 22, initially sparked relationship rumours last year as the pair were seen attending various public events together, including the 2024 Monte-Carlo Masters. Shortly after, reports emerged that the pair had gone their separate ways. Norris later confirmed he was single when asked if he wanted a dog ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix. 'If I do, I need a girlfriend, and I don't have one,' he told the crowd. A source told The Sun at the time that '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.' However, the two appear to have reunited as Corceiro was seen standing with Norris's family, excitedly watching as he secured pole position ahead of Sunday's official race. Norris's rumoured relationship with Corceiro comes years after he broke up with Portuguese model Luisinha Oliveira, whom he dated from 2021 to 2022. At the time, he announced their breakup in a since-deleted Instagram post, writing: '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.' Corceiro, meanwhile, previously dated Portuguese football star João Félix from 2019 to 2023. During Sunday's race, Norris successfully held off home favourite Charles Leclerc in the closing stages to clinch his first-ever Monaco Grand Prix victory. 'It's been a long time coming, so I feel good,' he said of the win. 'I don't think you realise how good this feels after quite a few struggles over the last couple of months. Especially here in Monaco, it's a beautiful place and probably the hardest track to do it up against the hometown hero as well. 'I'm very proud of the whole team — we've worked a lot this week, and over the last few months, to get to a day like today,' Norris added. The Independent

Lando Norris rekindles romance with Portuguese model Margarida Corceiro after eight months apart
Lando Norris seems to have reunited with Portuguese model and actress Margarida Corceiro, months after their breakup. The couple was spotted together at the Monaco Grand Prix, where Corceiro was seen cheering Norris on as he secured pole position and went on to win the race at the Circuit de Monaco. The 22-year-old model, who has nearly two million followers on Instagram, was first linked to Norris during various public events throughout 2024, including the Monte-Carlo Masters in April. Despite their earlier split, Norris recently confirmed at the Dutch Grand Prix that he was single, stating he did not have a girlfriend. A source told The Sun that the pair had a fun time together but decided to step back because things weren't working out. Corceiro was previously in a relationship with Chelsea footballer Joao Felix, which ended in 2023 after his loan spell at Chelsea concluded. Norris also has a history of relationships with Portuguese models. He dated Luisinha Oliveira until 2023, and at the time of their breakup, he posted on social media that their separation was mutual and that they remained good friends. Recently, Corceiro drew attention for her lingerie campaign with Intimissimi, where she showcased her natural beauty and toned physique. Their renewed relationship appears to coincide with an upturn in Norris's on-track performance, as he not only took pole position but also won the Monaco Grand Prix. Charles Leclerc finished second, with Norris's teammate Oscar Piastri securing third place.

Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar have been waiting for this moment
Liam Lawson has been driving in Formula 1 during each of the past three seasons. He made his F1 debut at the 2023 Dutch Grand Prix, stepping into the seat at AlphaTauri after Daniel Ricciardo broke a bone in his hand. He again replaced Ricciardo last season, after Visa Cash App RB F1 Team decided to make a driver switch ahead of the United States Grand Prix. And while Lawson began this season alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull, he is back with the junior team, racing for Visa Cash App Racing Bulls after a switch was made before the Japanese Grand Prix. But this week, he will finally experience another first in F1. Advertisement His first F1 Monaco Grand Prix. It is a 'challenge' he is looking forward to. 'This will be my first time racing here in Monaco in a Formula One car and it's a moment I've been looking forward to for a long time,' said Lawson in VCARB's media preview. 'I've raced here before in the junior categories and it has always felt incredibly special, but doing it in F1 takes it to another level. There's so much history and prestige around this track. The margin for error here is tiny, and the challenge is massive, but that's exactly what makes Monaco so special. It's going to take a bit of time to get fully comfortable on track, so all three practice sessions will be crucial. I'm really excited to be here.' While Lawson has yet to finish in the points this season, his VCARB teammate, Isack Hadjar, is coming off his fourth finish in the points this year, as he came across the line ninth in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Advertisement Like Lawson, he will get to experience the Monaco Grand Prix in an F1 car for the first time this week. 'Monaco is nearly a home race for me and I'm sure it's going to be a really special weekend,' said Hadjar. 'I believe it's the best Qualifying session of the year as it's a really intense one, so I'm looking forward to it. Following last week's great result in Imola, I feel like the car is working really well. We found a bit more performance, so I'm happy to go again and drive for the first time a Formula One car in Monaco, aiming to fight for a few more points.' Hadjar delivered one of the more memorable moments of the 2024 F2 season last year in Monaco, with this lightning-quick reaction during qualifying a season ago: Hopefully, Hadjar will not need those reflexes for a similar moment this week.

F1 Miami GP LIVE: Race start time and schedule after Max Verstappen takes pole and Lewis Hamilton goes out in Q2
Max Verstappen took pole in a close qualifying session at the Miami Grand Prix on Saturday as Oscar Piastri finished outside the top three for the first time this season. The Australian was fourth, with Lando Norris backing up his win in Saturday's sprint with second, only 0.065s off Verstappen's pace. Teenager Kimi Antonelli sprung the surprise of the season so far by taking pole position for Saturday's sprint race in Miami and continued his brilliant rookie campaign with third place in qualifying, 0.002s shy of Norris. But it was a dismal afternoon for Lewis Hamilton, who dropped from third in the sprint to 11th in qualifying as he went out in Q2 for the first time at Ferrari. His teammate Charles Leclerc fared little better as both drivers struggled with their cars, with the Monegasque qualifying ninth. Three races, two teams – but F1 in the United States is still missing one key component The sorry sight of Floridian youngster Logan Sargeant trudging away from his burning Williams car last summer at the Dutch Grand Prix represented his final failed foray in Formula One. Quickly axed by team principal James Vowles, Sargeant lost his F1 seat after 36 races and one point. In doing so, a rare US presence among the 20-driver grid was no more. Since Mario Andretti won the 1978 Dutch Grand Prix – the same year he claimed his sole F1 world championship, America's only title to this day – no US driver has won a race. In fact, in the 47 years since, only Eddie Cheever in the 1980s has recorded more than one podium. Sargeant's only point, awarded post-race in Austin in 2023, was America's first point in the drivers' standings since Mario's son, Michael, finished third in Monza in 1994. A puzzling record, you may think, for a sport which has in the last decade boomed almost unfathomably across the Atlantic. Miami, which debuted in 2022 a year ahead of the Las Vegas night race, hosts its fourth edition this weekend with its typical high-octane offering of sunshine, showbiz and style. The missing piece for F1 in the US despite three races and two teams Miami hosts round six of the 2025 F1 season, but will have no American driver present on the grid Flo Clifford4 May 2025 05:00 Mercedes announce release of Kimi Antonelli 'The Seat' documentary on Netflix Mercedes have announced a new documentary, titled 'The Seat', that will air on Netflix next week, charting Kimi Antonelli 's promotion to a race seat at the team in 2025. The 45-minute documentary will reveal the 'private conversations' between Mercedes boss Toto Wolff and 18-year-old Italian prodigy Antonelli last year, leading to the teenager taking Lewis Hamilton 's seat at the Silver Arrows. Flo Clifford4 May 2025 04:00 F1 agrees extension with Mexican Grand Prix despite absence of key driver F1 has agreed a three-year extension with the Mexican Grand Prix, taking the race to at least the 2028 season. Mexico City 's previous deal with the sport expired after this year's race in October, with an extension seemingly up in the air given the absence of home hero Sergio Perez from this year's grid. But despite that, on Wednesday, F1 announced the contract extension, with a three-year deal taking the race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez into a 13th year in the modern era. Perez, who was dropped by Red Bull after a poor 2024 campaign, is also being strongly linked with a 2026 race seat at Cadillac, with the American-owned outfit joining the sport as an 11th team next season. Flo Clifford4 May 2025 03:00 George Russell on prospect of FIA swearing rules changing: 'We want to see these things put into action rather than saying 'we're considering things,'' Russell said. 'You know, we all consider a lot of things. 'We're clear we want changes and once they are implemented then we'll comment. But for the time being, it's being considered. So those words don't mean anything until the change has been made.' Flo Clifford4 May 2025 02:00 Stefano Domenicali on Miami's new deal until 2041: 'We believe that the credibility and multiplicity to make sure that we stay here for a long time can be the right story to be relevant, and that's what we need to do in this market, because, as I said, we are growing, but we are still small. 'We want to think bigger and bigger. '[This event] could be one of the most important pillars for our growth in this country' Flo Clifford4 May 2025 01:00 Miami signs new 10-year contract extension! Formula One has announced a record long contract with the Miami Grand Prix until at least the 2041 season. The 10-year extension, with the previous deal expiring in 2031, was announced on Friday ahead of the 2025 event starting at Miami Gardens. It is now F1 's longest current contract with a grand prix, with Australia the nearest now with a deal until 2037. Flo Clifford4 May 2025 00:30 Contrasting fortunes for Mercedes Kimi Antonelli said he wanted to bounce back from losing pole in the sprint race and he certainly did that, qualifying third-quickest on Saturday. 'Really really happy with how every weekend I'm more with the car and trying to explore the limit as well. And so far this weekend, I felt really good in the car. So that's definitely a positive,' the 18-year-old said. Compare that to teammate George Russell, who was fifth in qualifying, his worst result of the season, and said on race radio through qualy that he had 'no confidence' in the car. Flo Clifford3 May 2025 23:50 'Far too early' to think about championship - Piastri 'I will still try to get as many points as I can,' Piastri says when asked about the drivers' championship. 'It's far too early to start thinking about the championship, so I will try to make up as many places as I can but just to get a good result tomorrow over anything else.' Flo Clifford3 May 2025 23:40 Piastri 'couldn't get into the rhythm' in Q3 'I fell out of the rhythm a little bit,' Oscar Piastri (qualified fourth) says. 'My best lap of qualifying was the first lap of Q2. I peaked a bit early. 'I couldn't get into the rhythm in Q3. The car was great and deserved more but both laps in Q3 were quite scruffy. That's the price you pay." 'It's going to be tight at the front [in the race]. We saw how close qualifying was and it's going to be tough to make progress. 'I think you can, and the weather is not that straightforward, so I think we can make progress but it will be difficult.' Flo Clifford3 May 2025 23:30 'His ability to focus is insane' - Horner 'He's walking a step higher and becoming a father, welcome a beautiful little girl into the world is a massive thing,' Horner continues. 'But we see time and time again, when he crosses that line into the garage and puts his helmet on, everything disappears. His ability to focus and deliver is insane. It's really truly impressive.'
