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

1.39K viewsOtherPhysics

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?

A combination of the general hot temperatures at most of the venues they visit, all the clothes they wear, a race is extremely physically demanding, confined cockpit, the engine is directly behind them and “wind” isnt always cold.
