this looked very creepy, is this normal or it is faulty and could get punctured?

It's common in almost all motorsports.

A good example of something somewhat similar is on drag racers. They expand as they get faster but they still hold the bead, but in F1 they're mostly moving side to side instead of up and down.

Moving up and down, side to side like a rollercoaster?

No.
