FORMULA One golden boy Lando Norris and American influencer Alix Earle have gone from cosy yacht parties in Monaco to late-night rendezvous in London’s most exclusive private members’ clubs as their romance continues to heat up.
Now, insiders reveal how the star has been secretly wooing the social media sensation behind the scenes – including inviting Alix and her closest friends for a night out in Mayfair, where the pair partied until almost 4am.

One pal tells The Sun: “Lando heard Alix was coming to London and invited her and her friends out. They’ve been chatting since Monaco and it’s all going really well. They’re definitely getting closer and moving in a strong direction.”
The source insists the pair are still keeping things casual for now, with throwing himself into another gruelling Formula One season and Alix continuing her hectic schedule in America.
The source continued: “They’re not official because it’s still early days and Lando’s been training a lot, given it’s the middle of the season for him – but now he’s on summer break, and they’re getting to know each other properly and hope to spend more time together.”
Pals say the London reunion seems a clear sign that what began in Monaco may become something more. When Lando discovered was flying into the capital, he made sure they saw each other again.

The pair were joined by Alix’s sister Ashtin and her best friend Anastasia ‘Stassie’ Karanikolaou, one of Kylie Jenner’s closest friends, The Twenty Two.
As the hours passed, however, the group gradually became smaller.
Our insider revealed: “Everyone else started dropping off around two in the morning but Lando stayed until nearly four with Alix and Anastasia.
“They were chatting all night, laughing and they were definitely cozied up, but nothing over the top.”
The evening became so enjoyable that Lando even asked staff whether the club could stay open for another hour. However, reportedly security was keen to call time.
When they eventually left, videos showed the star sprinting from the venue before climbing into a waiting car in an attempt to avoid photographers.
Friends say moments like that are becoming increasingly common as the pair spend more time together.
The pair first met , where Alix had travelled to the Riviera with wellness brand Alo.
Those close to Lando say the pair immediately hit it off and have stayed in contact frequently.
Best known for her hugely successful Hot Mess podcast and her social media videos, Alix has built an audience of millions by documenting everything from glamorous brand trips to chaotic nights out.
One insider explained: “They’ve kept in touch ever since and get on really well.”
For Lando, the timing has raised some eyebrows.
Only weeks ago, The Sun revealed he and long-term on-off girlfriend Magui Corceiro had after another attempt to make things work.
Pals said the split came in the aftermath of the Monaco Grand Prix, where endless speculation over Lando’s partying and photographs with several women placed fresh strain on an already rocky relationship.
At the time, a source told The Sun: “Magui was genuinely shocked by some of the photographs and stories coming out of Monaco. They had been trying to work things out, and then suddenly she was seeing endless headlines, endless videos and speculation all over social media.
They continued: “Their relationship already had cracks in it, so Monaco didn’t create all the problems but it did hugely magnify them.”

Fans also noticed Magui unfollowed Alix on Instagram in the days after the Monaco Grand Prix, fuelling further speculation that the situation had become personal.
More recently, the split has continued to play out subtly on social media. Just hours ago – after the pictures of Lando and Alix in London emerged – Magui reposted a TikTok that read: “No bigger ego boost than seeing the replacement.”
Fans were quick to speculate it was a pointed response to the growing romance rumours.
Now, Lando is enjoying getting to know Alix away from the racetrack. Friends insist there’s no pressure to make things official just yet, with Lando simply enjoying spending time with Alix as they get to know each other.

The source explained: “It’s still early days so nothing is official. Lando has literally just finished things with Maugi and he’s throwing everything into racing. But they’re definitely enjoying getting to know each other.”
Insiders say Alix has been a welcome change from the pressures of Formula One, with the pair seemingly bonding over their shared sense of humour and love of letting their hair down.
“Lando thinks she’s super cool,” a pal laughed.
“But equally, you can’t forget she’s an American party girl.”
The two stars lead extremely different lives.
Away from the late-night parties, Lando’s world is dominated by Formula One. At just 25, he is one of the sport’s biggest stars, with the relentless demands of a championship campaign leaving little room for a personal life.
Alix, meanwhile, has become one of America’s biggest , balancing her hugely successful Hot Mess podcast with brand deals and a new skincare business.
Despite living on opposite sides of the Atlantic, those close to the pair insist they’re making the effort to see where things could lead.
One insider said: “They’re definitely getting closer. They’re both having fun and seeing where it goes.”
After Monaco and now London, few would be surprised if they are seen together again before long.
Lando and Alix’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
