Narrative:
The captain was the pilot flying; on departure we received the low fuel pressure lights; and due to this distraction he tried to deal with the alert instead of fly the aircraft. I told him he was drifting right and watch his course; he said that he was but he was slow in responding. I said to watch his course again and to go left; he eventually did but it looked as though we were very close to penetrating the prohibited airspace. Nothing was said after that and we continued on. I do feel that from the previous day and throughout the flight; this captain was not prone to good CRM. He also seemed irritable in his tone and tenor; leaving me guessing how well he receives correction. I realize this captain is a very new captain and perhaps he was overloaded.I should have spoken up louder and more forcefully so that I was certain he heard me the first time I called out the deviation. I also feel that he should have had a better cockpit are and friendly environment from day one. His attitude and irritability should have been more open to crew communication.
