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?

Never mind the actual insulation and suits etc. F1 is extremely taxing on their body. It is physically quite demanding, so a lot of their sweat is actually from hard work. The g forces pushing and pulling kn the body are tough. The concentration is insane.

There is a clip of either Vettel or Hamilton from top gear talking about this.
