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?

In addition to the comments on the airflow, it’s also worth noting they don’t spend much time at those speeds. The circuits where heat is a particular problem, such as Singapore and Qatar, don’t have desperately long straights. Singapore had 20+ corners, in 1 minute 45 of lap time there are only two longish straights,.covering less than a quarter of it.
