Oscar Piastri's MCL40 has been wheeled back to the pit box, after Lando Norris' car also suffered electrical issues and faces a pit lane start.
McLaren have confirmed to GPblog: "We also identified an issue on Oscar's car, which means we were unable to start the car from the grid.
"We have now returned the car to the garage to further investigate the issue there."
Elsewhere, Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto has also been pushed off the grid late on.
