Lewis does need/like a lot of hand holding by his engineer, not that he's the only one. You look at Charles and Seb at Ferrari and they're basically telling the engineers what to do.
But something very like that driver-engineer relationship anyway. As much coaching as the rules allow, and patient enough to sit through a diatribe or six while Lewis blows off steam.
So while Lewis doesn't make the situation much better, the Ferrari engineers are probably the worst on the grid and should've been changed years ago.
