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?

Fun fact, it’s not uncommon in GT or closed cockpit racing to see drivers wearing a “cool suit” that’s essentially a fire resistant shirt with a system of plastic tubes running around it with cooled liquid running through it.
