I did not keep record whether this is the first time he said this but he wasn't saying such things 4 years ago.

We did not have sprint races in stupid tracks 4 years ago.

Max has always been pretty outspoken on racing moving to narrow street tracks.

Okay so what? He now has 4 years of experience with sprint races and has come to this conclusion based on that experience. Also he has said plenty of times before that he thinks that sprint races are unnecessary.
