Fans Speculate Lando Norris Has Been ‘Soft Launched’ by His Rumored Girlfriend, Does it Spell Trouble Ahead of Miami Grand Prix?

For the past year or so, rumors have been floating around that Lando Norris is dating Portuguese model Magui Corceiro. While neither of them has officially confirmed the relationship, that hasn’t stopped the F1 community from speculating.

Officially, Norris continues to maintain that he is single. But every time the two are spotted together, he finds himself in the headlines. Corceiro’s latest Instagram post has done nothing to help matters.

The post features a collaborative set of photographs for Alo, a mind and wellness brand. And fans have ‘identified’ a clue in the pictures that might just confirm, according to them, that Corceiro is ‘soft-launching’ Norris.

In one of the photos, a man appears in the distance, playing golf. While there is no concrete evidence as to who it is, the silhouette appears similar to Norris’ physique. If that’s true, then there is a bigger cause of concern for his fans as well as McLaren ahead of the Miami Grand Prix.

“Imagine you’re LANDO NORRIS and your GIRLFRIEND soft-launched you in an ALO ad…” one fan wrote on X.

If Norris is indeed the man in the picture, it would mean he is currently in Portugal. As pointed out by the fan, this could be a major problem for Norris since the country, along with Spain and parts of France, has been experiencing a widespread blackout for hours.

This has led to disruptions in public transport, flight delays, and severe traffic congestion. No official reason has been provided for the power outage.

If Norris is indeed in Portugal, the folks at McLaren would be sweating. While fans joked that Corceiro “caused the power cut” to keep himself there, the British driver cannot afford to miss this weekend’s action in Miami.

While parts of southwestern France are also affected by this outage, it appears that Portugal and Spain are the worst hit as of now.

Electricity companies in Spain are estimating that it may take between six to 10 hours to restore power to normalcy across the nation. However, Portuguese grid managers are uncertain about how much time they will need.

And it would take more time for the transport mechanisms to normalize. So for Norris, it would be ideal if he weren’t the man in Corceiro’s picture.

After all, he has a race to attend to and can’t afford to be stuck with no means to fly out of Portugal. And being in contention for the championship, he has to not just attend, but ensure he scores big. A repeat of last year’s victory would be ideal.

Norris, on 89 points, is in second position in the driver standings at the moment. He is in a tight competition with his McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri, who leads the table with 99 points.
