🚨 SHOCKING NEWS: Lando Norris’ girlfriend, Margarida Corceiro, unexpectedly burst into tears online and posted a series of screenshots of chilling death threats from haters. She revealed how horrible the situation was and how it had completely broken her! What’s going on behind Lando’s world championship? 😱
The Formula 1 world is currently turned upside down, but not only because of the breathtaking battle for the world title. This time it is Lando Norris’s personal life that is the center of attention – and in an extremely painful and disturbing way. His girlfriend, the Portuguese actress and influencer Margarida Corceiro, has shown in an emotional and candid post on her social media how tough it has been for her in recent months. What she shared shocked thousands of fans around the world.
Margarida posted a series of screenshots of messages she had received via various platforms. The content of those messages is downright shocking. It is not about ordinary criticism or hateful comments – no, it is pure death threats, sometimes very detailed and extremely aggressively worded. She wrote that she has been awake for weeks, is afraid to go out alone and sometimes even cries when she is alone in the house. “I never told anyone because I didn’t want to distract Lando during the championship,” she began her long message.
“But I can’t take it anymore. This is breaking me.”
The young woman, who normally portrays a radiant and carefree image, openly showed her vulnerability for the first time. She shared photos of herself crying, with red eyes and a trembling lip. The captions were heartbreaking: “I love him but this is too much,” “I just want to live normally,” and “Why do people hate me so much just because I love someone?”
The reactions to her post came in en masse. Tens of thousands of people sent messages of support, but there were also many who immediately questioned the story. Some claimed it was a publicity stunt, others said she was “too sensitive” for the harsh world of Formula 1. But the vast majority of the community showed sympathy. Many Lando Norris fans expressed shock and anger that this type of behavior is still happening in 2025.
Behind the scenes the story would be even more complex. According to sources close to the McLaren camp, several team members have been aware of the situation for months. There was even talk of discussions with Formula 1 security and the local police in Monaco, where the couple spends a large part of the year. Yet nothing was ever said publicly – probably to keep the focus entirely on the title fight.
Lando himself has not yet responded to Margarida’s post. At the time she shared her story, he was busy preparing for the next Grand Prix. But people who know him well say he would be “completely devastated” when he saw the message. An anonymous source close to the couple told Dutch motorsport media: “Lando feels powerless. He wants to protect her, but he can’t be everywhere at once. The circuit, the media, the sponsors… and in the meantime the person he loves is being destroyed.”
Margarida Corceiro has been a well-known face in Portugal for some time thanks to her roles in popular series and her large Instagram following. Since she publicly confirmed her relationship with Lando in 2023, her popularity has grown exponentially – but so has jealousy and hatred. Many fans find it difficult to accept that their idol is in a serious relationship. Some of the online hate focuses specifically on the idea that Margarida is “distracting him” from his championship fight, an argument that has been used against drivers’ partners for years.
Experts in the field of online hate and cyberbullying point out that the situation surrounding Margarida is a textbook example of so-called “celebrity partner hate”. Particularly in the sports world, where male athletes are often seen as untouchable, their partners suffer as soon as they enter the picture. In extreme cases, this leads to death threats, stalking and even physical intimidation.
Formula 1 itself has not yet given an official response, but there are rumors that the FIA and some teams are quietly working on stricter measures against online hatred towards drivers and their loved ones. Several prominent figures in the paddock, including other partners of drivers, are said to have expressed their support for Margarida in a private chat group and called for action.
For now, the question remains: how long can a world-class athlete like Lando Norris continue to perform under this immense pressure, while the person he loves is being destroyed at home? The world championship is still in full swing, but for many fans it suddenly feels a lot less heroic. What once seemed like a fairytale story – the boy from Bristol chasing the world title with his dream girl by his side – has now turned into a painful reality in which success also turns out to have a very dark side.
Thousands of people have now used the hashtag #ProtectMargarida to show their support. The question remains whether it will actually change anything. But one thing is certain: the smile that Margarida Corceiro always wore in photos next to Lando Norris is gone for the time being. And that hurts many more people than just the two of them.
