Breaking: Lando Norris just won his first Formula One World Championship, and his victory kiss turned the paddock into a movie set. Minutes after the checkered flag in Abu Dhabi, Norris pulled Portuguese model and actress Margarida Magui Corceiro into an embrace, sealing the title and the headline. I watched the moment unfold near the podium. The cheers got louder. The story got bigger.
A championship sealed, a kiss that stole the spotlight
Norris did the job with ice in his veins. He finished third, scored what he needed, and edged Max Verstappen by two points to take the 2025 crown. He is Britain’s 11th Formula One champion, and the first since Lewis Hamilton in 2020. Then came the kiss, simple and genuine, and the tone of the night shifted from pure stats to pure feeling.
The paddock loves a show. This one felt personal. Corceiro has been a constant at races all season. She was right there again, front row to a career-defining moment, and the cameras found them first. [IMAGE_1]

Meet Magui Corceiro
Magui Corceiro brings star power of her own. She is a Portuguese model and actress with a sharp eye for fashion and a presence that plays on screen and in person. In Monaco she leaned chic and classic. In Austin she leaned bold and bright. Today she went for soft glam, and it fit the moment perfectly.
Her trackside style has inspired copycat looks all season. She signs caps, she poses with fans, she owns a camera frame like a pro. She also speaks her mind. That mix, sweet and steel, has made her a standout figure around the grid.

Corceiro has been a regular at races throughout 2025, visible in garages, paddock lanes, and on the pit wall.
A love story with pit stops
Their timeline has had twists, but the fit feels clear tonight.
- First linked in mid 2023, quiet smiles and soft rollouts.
- A pause in mid 2024, with both giving space to careers.
- Reconnected in 2025, then seen together at key races.
- Today, a public kiss beside a world title.
Why this moment landed so hard
Sports are about numbers. Fame is about people. When those worlds meet at full speed, the story multiplies. Norris did the laps. Corceiro gave the night its heartbeat. Fans want more than lap charts, they want a window into a champion’s life. This kiss provided it, and it came without spin or staging. Two young stars, one shared win.
Corceiro has drawn both praise and side eye this year. Some love her candor. Some think partners speak too freely. That tension is part of modern sports culture. The grid is now a stage where victory, style, and personality all step into the same light.
Expect Corceiro to be a marquee face at the season-closing celebrations and awards stops.
Fan reaction and cultural impact
From the grandstands to the garage doors, fans leaned into the romance. McLaren orange waved as Norris raised a finger to the sky, then dropped his guard for a kiss. It was a champion showing his human side, and it landed across generations. Younger fans see a love story. Longtime followers see a new chapter in the British racing lineage.
There is a wider point here. Formula One is no longer just a race broadcast. It is a running saga with full characters, complete with wardrobes, friendships, and rivalries. Corceiro is part of that cast, and tonight she stepped into a defining scene. It does not take from the title. It adds a face and a feeling to it.
