I'd be in favour of giving a few points for pole position. With 25 for a win, 2 points for pole and 2 for fastest lap would be ok. But no more than that. Qualifying isn't important. No other motorsport series views qualifying the way that F1 does. Presumably that is because in previous years it has been so crucial to qualify well if you want to achieve a good result.
What I definitely wouldn't want is a touring cars-style system where leading the race gets you a point. In touring cars, with no pitstops in the BTCC, generally drivers get this point on merit for leading a race. In F1 you can lead a race because everyone who was in front of you has pitted for tyres. So you'd get a point for messing up your race. Why would you want to reward that?
