The second time is inferred. Why sign with Red Bull when there is a Mercedes seat open when BOT hadn't yet signed. Lewis will take on any driver at any time. If they pressed and wrote a performance-based contract, I'm certain Mercedes may have taken a chance on VER.
The former is when Max first got into working towards an F1 seat. Jos said that Max was ready for F1 rather than GP2, as Mercedes offered and racing against Lewis wouldn't be the right move for Max that early in his career.
