I've never heard the sound you are describing. I drove my car all summer in the Phoenix heat. Temperature was always 110-115. When I would start the drive, the oil & water temps would be @170/175. It didn't take long for those temps to reach 210. So I guess I'm saying is that the high pitch you are hearing may not be related to the oil and water temps? I too have the F1.

I would suspect the transmission, a sharp peak in water temp usually means the transmission is not happy

where you in traffic, on the road, at a track ? how fast ?
