The penalty does seem rather harsh, but at the end of the day McLaren ****ed up again.

The rule applies to the whole weekend too, which begs the question why drivers can pull over right at the end of the race just as they cross the line like both Rosberg and Vettel did recently if I recall correctly... and not get penalized? After all they didn't make it back to the pits properly, you MUST get it back to the pits and that doesn't mean parking up at the end of the pit lane after you cross the line.

By telling their drivers to stop, they have basically admitted their cars can't make it back to the pits under their own power and still provide the sufficient fuel sample as required by the RULES.

Don't recall either of them starting the next race at the back of the grid.

Just the usual FIA clarity BS anyway. Still be a fun race to watch now at least.
