My Saturday with Bernie Collins: F1 is a busy and noisy life, my new Scottish home is a lovely antidote

07.30

If it’s a working Saturday, the time I get up at will depend on the time of the first sessions. It’s usually around 7.30 or 8am. If I’m not working I’ll get up later, make a cup of tea, bring it back to bed and get up at around 9am. We moved last September to a place about an hour north of Glasgow and Edinburgh. We were looking at new-builds and modern houses with access to the airport but then we found this 150-year-old stone house with views of a loch.
