If it helps, FlightAware has something a little less “irregular” (turbulence perhaps?):

Don’t rely on flight trackers, especially over the Atlantic, as they often have glitches which do not reflect the actual progress of the aircraft – its pretty much guaranteed that the aircraft did nothing more than fly straight and level during the supposed course change shown.

This isnt always the case, as aircraft can be asked to do a 360 degree turn to correct any spacing issues between them and the aircraft in-front of them. This may be the case in this particular flight, with the flight tracker recording that oddly from the ADS-B signals.

Its also worth noting that ADS-B receivers are extremely sparse over oceans, so after a certain point trackers solely rely on path prediction.
