Hey mate here is your answer!
When the small side is in contact, there are fewer 'hills' but the area of each one is larger due to the higher pressure (same force, smaller area), so there will be no difference in the amount offriction. Hence friction is independent of area of contact. Elastic objects have the property to stretch.
Hope it helps you
