CA is this normal help

when i had the car idle and i opened full throttle from the engine i noticed the lower radiator hose squeezed itself like a taco but only when i open full throttle i found it a little weird whats up with this when i go for a run on the canyon the temperature creeps up to the middle of hott and half im guessing since im always on full throttle the water isnt circulating
just a thought not sure if normal ive never paid attention to that

You find it wierd that when you are almost constantly at full throttle your water temp goes up?

What speeds are you doing your runs at?

The bottom hose is supposed to have a spring that fit inside the hose. The spring keeps the hose from collapsing. Go buy yourself a new hose before you overheat the engine and destroy the water seals.
