There is quite a big difference between the line that you require for the fastest possible route through a corner and a defensive line, which is what I think peebee2 is nailing in his second point, and this is how Ricciardo gets through, he is fast into the corner and effectively blocks the overtaken car from taking its faster line on the exit.
