Why are F1 drivers hot if wind is coming at them at 200-300kmph

Question

I was reading that F1 drivers have to withstand really high temperatures consistently during a race and don’t have A/C. How come they’re hot if there’s wind coming at them really fast throughout the entire race?

The engine is right behind them, and the cockpit can get up to 140 F. They also don’t have an AC tube, like Indycar or NASCAR.
