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?

drivers are not exposed to the wind; with their fireproof suits and helmets the drivers are extremely well insulated to protect from injury.

Races also take place in warm climates so the 80 degree winds wouldn’t offer much reprieve.
