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?

Because they wear protective gear over their entire body, mainly a fireproof suit and helmet, none of that wind is getting through. It’s like wondering why you’re hot inside despite the fact that there’s a nice breeze outside, but meanwhile your windows are all closed.
