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

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?

One smart guy running a water/air intercooler with ice and water also used it plumbed into his “cool suit” under all the Nomex and his helmet. He had two 8mm quick connects mounted to the seat.
