History with Citroen, not allowing to test the car and probably something else was their problem (generally bad managment again).
And Toyota, well, he didn`t like it probably, although it seems Mäkinen wanted a finnish team that time also, like you said.

Bad managment is what made him choose M-Sport. And the fact that he has respect for Wilson also ofc.
Of course Hyundai wanted him but obviously not at all costs. They had already committed to their drivers pre-2017 and stuck by them, didn't work out as they thought last year but it's looking better for this year.
