If Aston Martin had a car even capable of going further up the grid and Vettel is really as awful as you’re saying, don’t you think Stroll should be out performing him at every racing weekend? I don’t think so... Both drivers would’ve at least got their cars further up the grid. And it’s not even open for debate. Lol. Aston Martin really did have a worse car than their Racing Point, Force India days.
And since you’ve made a point with Perez, Alonso starts further back too and he had less overtakes than Vettel in the Alpine which is def a better car than the Aston Martin. Just saying...

^ Yes, you are right on those stats but overtakes are only one factor that determines how good a driver is. There are a lot of variables working on and off the track that are important too.
For example, pitting, team-calls, and also consistency and temperament are also very important factor that defines a driver. I'm not saying that overtake stats is totally irrelevant, but in order to justify how good a driver is, a lot of variables should also be taken under consideration.
