Lando Norris has found himself making headlines away from Formula 1 after being spotted alongside influencer Alix Earle in France.
Footage published by TMZ showed the McLaren driver and social media star spending time at La Guerite in Cannes following the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix weekend. According to the outlet, Norris and Earle were part of a larger group that included influencer Anastasia Karanikolaou and reportedly spent around three hours together at the popular beachside venue.

The sighting quickly attracted attention across both Formula 1 and entertainment circles. TMZ also noted that the 2025 Formula 1 world champion has been in an on-and-off relationship with Portuguese model and actress Margarida “Magui” Corceiro in recent years. However, it remains unclear whether she was present at the gathering in Cannes.

With Formula 1 now turning its attention to the 2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, the British driver will be looking to put Monaco behind him and refocus on the title fight this weekend, where he owns the track record with a 1:11:383 pole lap in 2024.
For now, however, a brief appearance at a beach club in Cannes has become an unexpected talking point among fans. While there is no indication that the gathering was anything more than a social outing among friends, the footage was enough to send Lando Norris trending online and generate discussion far beyond the Formula 1 paddock.
